Joe they are doing something about it now,,. Something may have prevented those missing tiles from the Space shuttle,,

It wasn't missing tiles. There are no tiles on that part of the wing.

My guess is you will see more falling through as you are seeing now, simply because the designs were cheaper as explained before (ie: cost bang for buck)

Even if they were expensive, they'd still end up falling. What you are proposing about putting boosters of sufficient size to leave Earth orbit on all satellites would be far too expensive to put them up there to begin with.

Your defense of space junk is suspect, now you're just being indigent.

I'm not "defending" space junk as much as pointing out the unfeasibility of your idea of strapping boosters to all satellites to prevent them falling to Earth.

First everything falls, now nothing falls. Space junk is a serious problem along with your wish wash attitude.

I never said nothing falls. I said only one person has ever been struck and is still alive and well to tell her tale about it.
...and yes, space junk is serious problem....to other satellites.

Not to mention your neglect & disregard for the American Bald Eagle as an endangered species.

What's that got to do with satellites falling out of orbit?
Try to stay on-point.

So whats the cost exactly, Joe?

Since you have all the numbers in your corner.

Right didn't think so, you can't even subtract shedded weight from a simple physics theory.

Why you are arguing is dumb as well, i was simply pointing out that something could have been done about space junk prior to the fact.

Now (if it goes on any longer) my progeny will be stuck on this planet with your less than stellar specimens unable to escape.

So whats the cost exactly, Joe?

It cost a lot more to launch something that has the capability to leave Earth orbit than to simply attain orbit.
Take a look here and scroll down to, "Generic Price Per Pound Calculation" and notice the cost per pound for each of the rockets listed, and then notice the difference in cost between low earth orbit and geosynchronous transfer orbit. Keep in mind that GTO is far below the 23,000mile altitude of actual geosynchronous orbit.

So if you now want to launch every satellite with an additionl rocket strapped to it, you could times those costs per pound by the number of pounds of rocket you want to lift up there with it.
...and then triple that to get beyond Earths gravitational influence.

It's obvious that you don't really understand what it actually takes, energy wise, to break free of Earths gravity.

Since you have all the numbers in your corner.
Right didn't think so,

But I do have the numbers. It's you that didn't have them and instead pulled an idea out from somewhere and thought, "that sure looks good to me"

you can't even subtract shedded weight from a simple physics theory.

And you can't even understand that to do what you are suggesting is is not practical in the least.

Why you are arguing is dumb as well, i was simply pointing out that something could have been done about space junk prior to the fact.

No, it couldn't have. Not using your idea anyways.

Now (if it goes on any longer) my progeny will be stuck on this planet with your less than stellar specimens unable to escape.

Where you wanna go? Back to Mars? lol

There is no new news here from the RT video uploaded in August (reported just before news of the dimming I expect). I just thought it captured the 'mood' I'm feeling. Although I'm not too concerned about Elenin itself, more the larger picture of changes, and some is just from having the new technology to see what may have always been going on. (Nor do I expect matter as we know it to be able to time travel).

And I've never seen an RT host act so 'fauxy' (Fox News) as she did at the end.

Thanks for posting a video that proves what I said earlier. No wish wash about. lol

Space junk is a serious problem along with your wish wash attitude.

It proves that your reading comprehension is equal to, or less than your listening comprehension.

That's great!! Thanks to men like Joe, now I have to be concerned about being hit by a spaceship's toilet seat as well my pinto's gas tank catching fire... Just great!!
