see full story...The western democracies mount very clean operations in
space...we always collect our space junk after conducting tests in
blowing up enemy satellites and dispose of them in an environmentally
friendly way...😉 Perish the thought...😉

Two military chiefs have criticised China and Russia for "reckless"
behaviour in space, such as using weapons to destroy satellites, leaving
a trail of dangerous debris orbiting Earth.
Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston, the head of the Royal Air Force, and
General Sir Patrick Sanders, commander of Strategic Command, also for
the first time left open the possibility that the UK could develop its
own weapons to defend assets in space.
"I am not ruling out what we might do in the future, but we don't want
to weaponise space," General Sanders told Sky News.
"We don't want it to become a place where - to use your language - there
is conflict or even war in space. We want to make sure it is a common
good for all because we all derive so much benefit from it."
The two commanders were speaking at the official opening of the UK Space
Command, which will take charge of all military work involving space -
now considered a domain of operations alongside land, sea, air, and
cyberspace.
