What about all the smaller pieces? even a 5mm fastener off some booster travelling at 20K KMH would kill an astronaut on an EVA.
As more of this junk hits other junk at such high speed won't we end up with millions more partials becoming logarithmically smaller in size but exponentially growing in number?
Will we in years to come have a fog of small fragments that may make space travel difficult and much more dangerous?
