As you can see, I have entered a contest. The link above will take you to the submission and "vote" screen. I need to get "likes".
First off, I am Ashley Hughes, and I am one of the Ash-tronauts. Ashlea Spitz and I have been training for our N-ASH-A (get it) space mission for over 2 years by rappelling down skyscrapers and hanging out in -110 degree ice saunas (colder than the atmosphere). We eat space food at our parties and listen to satellites and planets via radio telescopes, but with all of our education we also became aware about space debris. SPACE JUNK! Both of us are highly active in volunteering with the environment in our community but we won't stop at just earth. There are an estimated $300 billion dollars (US$) of space junk in lower earth orbit. Each time a satellite collides with another, hundreds of thousands of pieces of space junk, from paint chips to space stations, crowd our atmosphere. These particles will forever collide becoming smaller pieces, eventually maybe creating a ring around earth and inhibiting space exploration. Lets raise awareness for Space recycling and send an ashtronaut to space!
