CNet: NASA chief labels Indian anti-satellite missile test a 'terrible, terrible thing'
Lingering space debris from the missile test poses a threat to astronauts on the International Space Station.
The head of NASA, administrator Jim Bridenstine, has called a recent Indian anti-satellite missile test, which destroyed a satellite in low Earth orbit and blasted 400 pieces of debris into space, a "terrible, terrible thing".
"That kind of activity is not compatible with the future of human spaceflight," said Bridenstine, speaking at a livestreamed Town Hall gathering of NASA employees. "It's unacceptable and NASA needs to be very clear about what its impact to us is."
India announced that it had successfully carried out "Mission Shakti", an anti-satellite missile test on March 27, destroying one of the country's satellites. The success of the mission made India only the fourth nation to complete such a test, following previous tests conducted by the US, Russia and China.

WNU Editor: This is sobering .... India's anti-satellite missile test may have created 6,500 pieces of space junk larger than a pencil eraser, according to a new simulation (Business Insider).

All that junk and of course the refuse yet to come will have a negative impact on peaceful and warful activities up there.
Man kind will only learn and think to react when it is beyond our ability to repair the damage.
Perhaps a prediction ignored. A mirror image of the problems life under the oceans has due to mankind's death-like plastic foot print there as well.
