In 1958, America launched Vanguard 1—a satellite meant to orbit for weeks. 65 years later, it's still up there, part of over 25,000 tracked debris pieces traveling at speeds that turn paint flecks into grenades. From Sputnik's abandoned rocket stage to nuclear-powered satellites scattering radioactive debris across Canada, this is how the Space Race turned Earth's orbit into a minefield that threatens to trap humanity forever.
In this video, you'll learn:
► Why Vanguard 1 is still orbiting after 65 years
► How paint flecks become lethal weapons at orbital velocity
► The 1985 satellite destruction that created permanent hazard zones
► Why Cosmos 954 scattered radioactive debris across Canada
► How Kessler Syndrome could trap us on Earth
From triumph to tragedy, this is the hidden cost of winning the Space Race.
