- Dr Ryan Stone, an engineer on her first time on a space mission, and Matt Kowalski, an astronaut on his final expedition, have to survive in space after they are hit by debris while spacewalking.
- Lunar Module 32 is destroyed when a limpet craft operated by the aliens attaches itself to its side and causes it to enter Earth orbit at too steep an angle, by which it burns up in the atmosphere.

Since the growth of debris in orbit is increasing this process has already begun. We just in the shallow part of the curve but it will accelerate if action is not taken.
- Aerospace engineers are working on a new method to deal with space junk and avoid the Kessler syndrome, The technology use the concept of a solar sail to be deployed after a satellite has competed it's mission to generate drag and cause it to deorbit quickly.
- 2018– 13mTV EpisodeMembers of the United States Space Force recently (2021) offered hints about their strategy and tactics.
