Frankly I'd rather go out with a big bang than hooked to a respiratory machine:shrug:

The space debris that we've put up is more of a danger to the rocket and shuttle shots that they put up, no atmosphere to burn up that random bolt zipping towards you. And the overwhelming majority of the junk up there is not big enough to cause any damage on earth.

But the great cosmic shooting gallery we're whirling towards, hey, that's going to make life interesting.;)

Frankly I've found it astounding that the Earth hasn't been blasted more than it has, considering all the junk we've got floating in our own solar system.
