Debris is also very much disturb each flight into space that allows aircraft launched from Earth into space will touch even collide with one of the objects that are in the earth's orbit.

According to the ESA states that approximately 100-150 tons of objects launched into outer space by humans is now back again to the earth's atmosphere, the remaining satellites back to earth potential threat to human life on earth, which of the thousands of objects orbiting the earth to only about 6% of the monitored its existence. Outer space objects endanger earth.
