The junk up there
Hazards of space junk force an international response
Yet another trend that is heading in the wrong direction fast. And yet another reason for world government, because if we were all under one governing body, then I think the WG would fund an effective cleanup effort. As it is, we are stuck with an orbital tragedy-of-the-commons where anybody with a launch vehicle can get it up there, but doesn't have to have aplan for bringing it back down (which is also a problem for those rare priapism sufferers).
So what exactly are they/we going to do about it? That's still not clear at all.
