It costs approximately $10,000 US to put 1 pound into orbit.
Although there is concern about collisions with the space station, imagine how much junk is actually floating around up there from previous missions over a forty year period.

Although there is concern about collisions with the space station, imagine how much junk is actually floating around here posted by those persons in a race to be first into the still empty space.
Even Harper is also under pressure for missteps by the novice, pretentious, mostly useless Conservative Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay, who this week contradicted official Conservative policy by saying Canada would continue to give aid to the Palestinian Authority after the militant group Hamas won recent elections.
The right-of-center Citizens said MacKay was failing on the job and did not know "the difference between Hamas and hummus", adding that Canada could really do without "a foreign minister who provokes guffaws", just to be heard, to be seen to be doing something.
Last month Conservative MacKay was forced to apologise after citing secret intelligence information on the fate of two Canadians being held hostage in Iraq.
Now the Conservatives do also apologise for the posts and their posters.
Another vain race to be first.
