7 Horrible Ways the Universe Can Destroy Us Without Warning

Some highlights:

Space Junk/Space Debris: This has been on my radar for years. The “space junk” flying around up there is going so fast it will destroy anything else it hits. And we just keep leaving more behind.

Nevermind that we’ve literally destroyed the oceans by filling them with toxic garbage. So, since some very high percentage of the world depends on sea life to survive, we’re doomed.
