Debris that smashed earth from space (8 Photos)

First comment, woot.

pretty crazy how much crap is floating all around us

Thanks to a lot of that crap, we enjoy our cell phones and National Security. But yeah, most of it now is "dead" and slowly drifting down until it hits the atmosphere and blazes like Mario's fireballs.

75% of earth's surface is water so a good chance of bits falling there. Many of the objects in
that inventory are quite small; nuts, bolts, hand tools . . . so don't have much chance of surviving
the fall. The chances of being hit by one of these things is far less than the chance of
meeting a sincerely polite TSA agent.

"Photo", huh? Taken by…?
