I think Wayne M5WJF has misunderstood the question from ZL1AJ.
Wayne believes he meant MIR should hav e been sent just a little UP. I am sure
he meant that MIR should have been accelerqqated to exceed escape velocity, and
go off into distant space. There is enough room in space to contain rather a
lot of debris if left to journey on at random. I dont know just how much extra
would be needed for this, and no doubt those responsible have already worked
it out, since it is an obvious improvement on the present situation. I wonder
how long it will be at the present rate of rocketeering, before the risk of
collision with space debris bedomes unacceptable when new satellites aqre sent
up. I suppose someone has the job iof keeping a tally, but i wonder if anyone
will ask for the answer before some collisions occur? Even TC Satellites are
not cheap!1
