India anti-satellite missile test a 'terrible thing,' NASA chief says
India's anti-satellite missile test created at least 400 pieces of orbital debris, the head of NASA says -- placing the International Space Station (ISS) and its astronauts at risk.
NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine said Monday that just 60 pieces of debris were large enough to track. Of those, 24 went above the apogee of the ISS, the point of the space station's orbit farthest from the Earth.
"That is a terrible, terrible thing to create an event that sends debris at an apogee that goes above the International Space Station," Bridenstine said in a live-streamed NASA town hall meeting. "That kind of activity is not compatible with the future of human spaceflight." He added: "It is not acceptable for us to allow people to create orbital debris fields that put at risk our people."

I am actually glad you pointed that out.
Notice where those tent cities are located: in places run by Democrats, almost all of them on the West coast.
Turn govt over to them and they will turn your city into the Third World. Not by coincidence, those same folks LOVE the Third World. Me, I don't have ill will towards those places, but I demand better from my own country. Not acceptable, easily prevented.
