Dump your trash in space? It’ll cost you

Space junk is a real-life problem. Debris crashes and scatters, endangering functional satellites and astronauts on the International Space Station. But it’s no longer free.

The FCC (USA Federal Communications Commission) announced its first penalty regarding space debris in a settlement with Dish Network… “a breakthrough settlement” in the increasingly concerning realm of space debris… Dish admitted it was liable for failing to properly dispose of the EchoStar-7 broadcast communications satellite.

The fine isn’t very substantial. I could see a company deciding it’s just a ‘cost of doing business.’ But it’s a start, and there are companies trying to develop spacecraft to clean up Earth orbit before we trap ourselves on the planet under a blanket of junk.

A situation worrisome in real-life gets worse in science fiction – but, you knew it would, didn’t you? See how Winnie Bravo, Space Pilot handles the dangers she finds in orbit.

Winnie Bravo is brash, reckless, and more than a little annoying as she sets out to prove herself, careening from adventure to adventure.

In orbit, across the Moon, and on Earth, she pursues the truth about a nefarious probe and a scoundrel who will stop at nothing. What she discovers brings her closer to the truth than she bargained for, and may get her killed, or worse, fired.

If you love traveling to the future for rollicking adventures, you won’t be able to put Winnie’s story down. Binge on through, because the complete trilogy is available.
