One thing that man has loved to do is explore space. I will always remember when the U.S. landed on the moon. Our efforts in space are continuing and an important part of that is the space station. It brings us much information about the world we live in as well as outer space.
One problem that the station experiences now and then are the possibility of colliding with space junk. These are typically pieces of metal from shuttle debris, jettisoned rockets, and destroyed satellites. The station was recently forced to change its course in order to avoid space debris. I am glad our station will be ok and hope they can avoid any thing that would cause harm to our endeavors in space.
