Have you ever heard of Debris? It is abundant in space. Even though most is innocuous to us on Earth, it's terrifying to realize that only a 0.6-mile-wide rock can endanger the existence of our entire species. Relatively small rocks, as small as 130 feet across, could even cause cataclysmic damage to our planet.
