CBS Sunday Morning interviewed John Crassidis, the Samuel P. Capen Chair Professor and SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, about the increasing danger of space debris.
"In 1978 Donald Kessler was an engineer at NASA," he said. "And he predicted that debris would hit other debris, which would cause more debris. I think in 50 years, if we don't do something, the probability of collision's gonna be so great that it's not even worth putting satellites up there. We definitely don't wanna do that," said Crassidis.
