Scientific American has a very bloggy post up on space trash full of live links to past articles and tidbits sourced to a Wired reporter’s Twitter feed. The question: will orbiting debris from interspace smash ups and other intergallactic junk endanger scheduled repairs to the Hubble?
Side note: If Wikipedia and I have the count right, this will be the fifth mission to repair the space telescope. I remember when the Hubble first launched and started sending blurry photos back to Earth. I was gifted one of the best telescopes under $200 for the time and I started looking for space debris more than stars after that. I think I was in the sixth grade, just old enough to figure out that adults had very little figured out.

Astronauts took out the trash yesterday, inspiring nearly 700 news clips on the Web this morning—and here I thought my crew and I were the only ones interested in weird trash news!
