There are about 20,000 pieces of "space junk" the size of this satellite, 13,000 pounds worth, orbiting the Earth. One piece falls back to Earth per year.
One would think that NASA and other space agencies could do a little bit better with getting this stuff out of orbit. These people are worse than someone who throws their used soda can on the sidewalk. Its a worse level of disregard for the environment.
