They know that everytime they send something up only a small part of it is actually used past the original liftoff-where did they think all those spare parts were gonna go? I dont know how many ships in total have been in space now but just think every one of those disengaged from the part that boosted them up there and all those pieces are just floating around-not to mention all the other things(toothbrushes for Gods sake) not only do we have to make the earth a big trashcan now we've done the same thing to space. Where will it end? Maybe like bumfug say's and we'll be weeded out so that something else can thrive that dosen't pollute so much.
