Geez, Ron.
I wonder if this threatens Hubble?
I suppose this was bound to happen sooner or later. There is no way, IMO, that they can keep track of all the debris that happens to stay in orbit; and even if they could, nothing can be done about it now ...yet.

Probably won't pay much, the mafia will get involved, and if you fall off the truck, stop-to-stop, you're really, really screwed.
