The biggest threat to spacecraft is the debris most of which is man made.

What is the threat of space debris to a few astronauts compared to the problem of millions of people without safe drinking water? Just curious how big a threat this really is????

From the page: "There are approximately 11,000 pieces of space debris in Earthâ€s orbit that are larger than three inches and can be currently detected. And there are probably millions or even billions of smaller pieces of space debris that are unable to be detected. "

Once in space, the biggest threat to astronauts and spacecrafts is space debris.
ritubpant rated 2 months ago
From the page: "Once in space, the biggest threat to astronauts and spacecrafts is space debris. Space debris, also known as space junk or space waste, are potentially dangerous and useless objects in Earthâ€s orbit. These objects are either man-made (such as spent stages of rockets, broken off pieces of spaceships or equipment, old unusable satellites, and even small flecks of paint) or natural (such as space rocks, ice, and dust). The problem with space debris is how hazardous they can be if they impact a spacecraft or even a spacewalking astronaut. "
