What is orbiting Earth

Very neat link showing everything circling around Earth: LINK
As time goes on there will be more and more objects circling the Earth extremely fast, and remember F=M*V. Edit: =m*a my bad. Anyways that means large impacts occur by very little pieces of debris, causing:
Kessler syndrome
The Kessler syndrome (also called the Kessler effect,[1][2] collisional cascading or ablation cascade), proposed by the NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978, is a scenario in which the density of objects in low earth orbit (LEO) is high enough that collisions between objects could cause a cascade where each collision generates space debris that increases the likelihood of further collisions.[3] One implication is that the distribution of debris in orbit could render space activities and the use of satellites in specific orbital ranges infeasible for many generations.[3]

Here's the non-mobile link - LINK
Mobile wiki's layout really grinds my gears, especially on desktop, sorry.

Which one is the Black Knight Satellite?

Pretty damn cool app...

Whatever it is, it looks to be having a hard time getting out the gravitational forces of the huge object formally called 'your mom'

Oh yes.

I just started thinking about this...I'd bet if we went up and started gathering all of this "debris" up to clean up the orbits, some countries would be shitting bricks.

Thanks, I almost forgot.

That must be why we can't go to the moon anymore. It'd be like trying to dodge raindrops. We'd never make it.

F = ma actually...

Do any of those satellites have a camera pointed at Earth? A live feed. Should be hundreds, right?

If you zoom way in, you can see me.

If you zoom way out, you can see the size of my sack.
