This is what sources in Russia claim. NASA denies it
Reports that arrived in recent days from Russia and were published by several news agencies claim that the International Space Station will have to perform maneuvers to avoid a collision with the fragments of the Chinese satellite that exploded as part of China's anti-satellite weapon test a month ago.
However, NASA claims that no evasive maneuver has been performed so far from the remains of the Fengyun-1C satellite - an old meteorological satellite that the Chinese used as a target for an anti-satellite weapon in an experiment conducted on January 11, 2007. Usually, maneuvers are performed if the risk of collision reaches 1 in 10,000. However, it is still necessary to follow the cloud of remains created by the Chinese, which includes about 900 blocks that can be seen on radar. This is the largest amount of debris created at once during the 50 years of human activity in space.
In the meantime, the critics turn their attention to another consequence of the anti-satellite weapons test event: how well did the American intelligence officials know in advance that such a test was planned and in the stages of execution? And given the continued rumbling of the provocative activity of Iran and North Korea, why was no advance warning given to the American public about China's intentions?

The fate of the earth is decided.
The rest is a matter of time.
Light years, and experience of years of history; and future issues:
Poor or not poor, that's not the problem; Because in the future, there is room to examine: Should humanity continue to learn the hard way of wars and power struggles, in order to advance in regime methods and science?
In the historical past, when the wars were fought with non-nuclear weapons, somehow man had to "swallow" the results of the wars for the victims and the enormous damages they caused.
In the age of atomic weapons, man cannot afford not to become wise and understand that conflicts will eventually lead to the use of nuclear weapons, the results of which, if they get out of control, there will be room to think seriously about the concepts that, as Einstein expressed on the subject: in the Fourth World War - man will use stones.
If you don't want to cause future damage to the unique life on our planet, which according to research up to our time, if life exists on other planets - our humanity is not yet able to detect it, at distances that are estimated to be light years; It is better that the captains of the world give their opinion on the subject, at least as they begin to put thought into the subject of global warming, and there may be a common future solution to the two aforementioned dilemmas.
