Yeah. So now I work in the Mach 25 club. Racecars didnt pay the bills on time enough, airplanes were neat.. but just not fast enough. I mean 500mph in the air is neat, but how do you turn down 1,000,000 hp going Mach 25 IN SPACE?
I couldn't.
For those of you that actually follow me, heres a shot of what I do now. I build rocket engines for SpaceX, specifically the upper stage "MVaC-D" engines. This is a screen cap from a previous mission of an engine I worked on, while its in space above us.
That right there is the coolest feeling. Things I built are ABOVE ME RIGHT NOW. XD

Just yesterday I was studying up on orbital speeds and orbiting debris. Crazy high numbers, though all going predictable trajectories...
There was something in the numbers that had me wondering about ejected items and how much trouble they can cause. Please tell me they have a grand plan for all these ejected items...

Well, every piece is tracked so they know where the location is. Every dead satellite, fairing, engine, piece, etc. Even debris from previous... incursions. We actually de-orbit our second stages when we can so they wont stay up there and become debris. Theres actually a handful of different organizations working on finding the best ways to wrangle up and collect debris currently in orbit to avoid a cascade effect scenario.
