Two things:

1) Could we add a new topic to the "Craft" section for questions about character, plot, science, etc of a story? Not just a sounding board for story ideas, but for questions about a particular story. That's what this post is.

2) Does anyone know if their are standard orbits for space junk/objects? I do know there are certain orbits for the space station, satelites, and things like that, but what about the jettisoned debris that does not burn up in the atmosphere, instead finding a permanent orbit around a planet? Are their certain distances from the planet that are more prone to attracting "debris bands" Or is it completely random?

I haven't found out anything significant through my own searches, though my research has been minimal.
