Will the Earth Share the Fate of Saturn?
Is it possible that space exploration will result in the formation of a ring around the Earth similar to the Saturn ring? Most likely, human beings will not be able to create such a dense object. However, all this debris can severely impede space flights in future, as plenty of objects brought out... view more (2001-05-11)
