An image/graphic of Earth, showing the objects in Earth's orbit that NASA tracks. :o

There be junk up there! (watch out, Wally!)
-
Heh, must be really fun to make sure none of that stuff crashes into each other. :P
-
Why, if it's junk anyway?
-
It's not junk in NASA's eyes.
Otherwise, why track it? :P
-
They track the junk to avoid collisions with the non-junk (satellites, shuttles, space stations, etc…).
-
Perhaps it's just debris from MD1032 saving the earth from an alien mining robot invasion and NASA just doesn't want to tell us. ;D
-
I was just thinking of saying that all of that debris was from Shiva!
-
Actually, I'm sure that most of that space junk isn't "junk" at all, but things like satellites, that we modern day humans couldn't possibly live without.
I'm being sarcastic, of course. ;)
-
There's even more junk up there when the Chinese blew up a satillite for no reason becides saying "Hey! We can blow up a satellite like the USA too!.....Just have to try it 3 times and add more missile and satellite debris..." What a dumb test. At least we had a reason.
-
... We need a reason to blow stuff up? ;)

The US is one of the major world powers. Whenever we do something spectacular, all the other world powers want to make sure they can do the same thing. It's a competition.
There's your reason, NUMBERZero. :P
