YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHow much space junk have we left orbiting Earth, and why is it a problem? Should we use math to get it all into one place? And who owns the ~3500 active satellites out there? (Hint: Elon Musk and @SpaceX obviously have something to do with it.) Dr. Moriba Jah, astrodynamicist and space environmentalist, explains this and more as he chats with Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice.
