[QUOTE="mothcorrupteth, post: 74308771, member: 398885"] Correct--for things that are already [I]in[/I] orbit. But for things we're sending there or elsewhere? The relative velocities are much greater in the interval immediately following launch. And that's ultimately why it's the concern it is. It could be that we accumulate too much space junk before we have the chance to found a lunar colony, from which it would be much easier to launch collection missions for the space junk we [I]do[/I] have.
