we deserve what we have coming to us. 
That easily fixable if traveling from earth to space
Gotta find new lightweight strong material for the space craft or develop a Force field around a space craft to deflect the space debris and space rocks..
Filthy humans ain’t that smart tho

We really are a cancer to the universe
It better hope we don't figure out how to spread
From your fingertips to Tump’s eyes
Keep in mind the amount of area you're talking about. And it's 3D space. If you had a MILLION chunks over JUST the area of the US, that's one chunk per 4 square miles. And that doesn't factor in the different altitude levels.
So, yeah collisions are a risk but pretty low. We're doing a good job of tracking debris even moving the station if something seems like it's going to get close. We'll have policies in place to stay up with increased traffic.

Maybe, but not because of this. This is just an unfortunate side effect of our limited technology. I want to be a space garbage man though.

I guess we’ll find out.
You don’t hear about a lot damage being caused I feel like and eventually they re enter earth...
Yep, most reenter and burn up and even then, for the 500k "large" pieces, they'll be so far apart you would probably have to aim to hit them. We tend to underestimate the scale of shyt when talking about space.

Already knew the issue reading the thread title.
We trash our planet, why not trash orbit too
Short term thinking humans gone short term think.
I guess that opens up an "orbital space trash industry" ...
