Greetings dear members of this blockchain, with this publication I start my career as a blogger hoping that my publications are pleasing to you. In this sense, doing a review of the platform I have become familiar with the working mechanism and the topics of Hive account@project.hope, so I decided to make my first conceptual contribution in this community that supports content of biotechnological, scientific, psychological interest, among others.
So that in this installment we will be addressing the issue of space debris, which although we can not observe in many cases, it is well known that it causes damage to our planetary system. Therefore, it is important to highlight that the near orbit of our planet is full of junk, better known as space debris, of which are millions of uncontrollable fragments of different diameters that are part of old satellites out of service, we can also find pieces of space vehicles that by their nature and disposition the collection of them is a difficult task.

This debris is somehow responsible for space accidents, hinder satellite communications and are affecting the navigation systems in our globe.
In 1957, the Soviet Union dared to achieve one of the most cherished goals for mankind, which was to conquer outer space, and therefore launched the first artificial satellite from Earth. The United States could not be left behind and a year later did the same, and in mid 1961 we managed to send the first human to outer space.

In this sense, we can establish that the beginning of the space age coincided with the great acceleration which is what scientists call the enormous global changes that took place at that time, the emergence of industrial processes and advances in technology facilitated the lives of people. Although if we analyze the history we realize that the current changes also caused adverse effects to the planetary system and today we can observe an atmosphere with high concentrations of carbon dioxides, product of the burning of fossil fuels which has generated global overheating and the destruction of the ozone layer, in addition to the loss of biodiversity and imbalance in the systems that make up our planet.
Therefore, if you found this information useful, I invite you to leave your contribution in the comments section.
