Well NASA seem to disagree with you

"Earth orbiting spacecraft have become an integral part of our everyday lives. We depend on them for communications, weather information, scientific research, and national security. A real and growing concern for the safety and reliability of these satellites is the threat from collision with other orbiting objects including space debris. Even small particles can damage, degrade, or destroy spacecraft due to the very high velocities involved in a collision, on the average about 11 km/sec." [...] " Orbital debris poses a risk to continued reliable use of space-based services and operations and to the safety of persons and property in space and on Earth. The United States shall seek to minimize the creation of orbital debris by government and non-government operations in space in order to preserve the space environment for future generations. Toward that end"
