Default Space Debris Out Of Control, Says U.S. General

The head of the U.S. Strategic Command said Wednesday that the U.S.
has determined there are more than 15, 000 items currently floating in
orbit around the earth. That includes everything from bits and pieces
from the Shuttle to portions of destroyed satellites.

What exactly would be up there from the Shuttle? Unless he is referring
to PAM boosters...
