The good news is those dots are not to scale, and the bits of space junk are much smaller than they look there.

The bad news is, they're doing eleventymillion miles an hour (ok, 10-50,000 km/h more likely) and at that speed even a ball bearing would do terrible things to, say, the international space station.

The really bad news? This is all because NASA said to the TSA "Don't touch my junk".
