Heh, must be really fun to make sure none of that stuff crashes into each other.

Why, if it's junk anyway?

It's not junk in NASA's eyes.
Otherwise, why track it?

They track the junk to avoid collisions with the non-junk (satellites, shuttles, space stations, etc…).

Perhaps it's just debris from MD1032 saving the earth from an alien mining robot invasion and NASA just doesn't want to tell us.

I, for one, hope this is
much, much
more than a reconnaissance mission.

I was just thinking of saying that all of that debris was from Shiva!

Actually, I'm sure that most of that space junk isn't "junk" at all, but things like satellites, that we modern day humans couldn't
possibly
live without.
I'm being sarcastic, of course.

There's even more junk up there when the Chinese blew up a satillite for no reason becides saying "Hey! We can blow up a satellite like the USA too!.....Just have to try it 3 times and add more missile and satellite debris..." What a dumb test. At least we had a reason.

The US is one of the major world powers. Whenever we do something spectacular, all the other world powers want to make sure they can do the same thing. It's a competition.
There's your reason, NUMBERZero.
