Episode Details

Concerned politicians and citizens are scrutinizing space tourism ventures and private satellites due to the significant accumulation of orbital junk. NASA and all other cosmic billionaires are turning outer space into a junk yard as more rockets are launched beyond our planet's atmosphere. These artificial objects have been mistaken for near-Earth asteroids, as some fall back and cause damage. Furthermore, could an orbital shell of debris grow to a size and density where it is virtually impervious to spacecraft attempting to leave the planet? Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific on groundzeroplus.com), Clyde Lewis talks with researcher and filmmaker, Ron James, about STAR DRECK.
