This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Those are in very low earth orbit, basically they can only take out themselves.
And the Ozone layer again, potentially.

Yay... Didn't know that
Yes, but collisions can always accelerate parts and new debris, bringing them to a higher orbit.
But a more eccentric one, no collision is going to waive away orbital mechanics.
