Orbital Debris a Growing Problem with No End in Sight Quote:
The proliferation of garbage in low Earth orbit has reached a point where it will increase in the coming decades even if all rocket launches were canceled starting now, according to research by NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
Arthur C. Clarke, who first discovered the virtues of geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometers above the equator for communications satellites, warned that space exploration is more likely to be shut down by low-orbit debris than by anything else.

I wonder if they will eventually come up with some kind of solution.
