Here's a new idea for SpaceX, salvaging orbiting space junk, and warehousing it on the Moon for future use colonizing both the Moon and Mars, as well as for assisting his extraterrestrial services such as the International Space Station, satellite deliveries, and such.

Get on it, Elon!

That’s actually not a half-baked idea, LOL!

I’m surprised we don’t get ‘bonked’ more often, but then most of it burns up on the way to Earth.

I like that idea. I could start a recycling warehouse on the moon. Along with my roller coaster and theme park plan.

“Kenya Space Agency” Lots of space, but no rockets.

A lot of junk up there in “not quite” orbit.

Was star gazing with high poser binocs one night, happened to noticed some thing flashing like an aircraft light. Scoped in and it was a large cylinder tumbling end over end.

Did not show up as an errant booster on the usual tracking databases. Maybe it was supposed to have de-orbited by then.

What would be worse? A soda pop bottle or a 500kg metal ring?

“The Kenya Space Agency (KSA)”

I saw that and had to go back up to the top to make sure this wasn’t the Babylon Bee.

I wonder how much of our taxpayer money goes towards the Kenya Space Agency?

[Eleutheria5]

Loved hearing Osorla spoken. Friend of mine from South Africa demonstrated a few phrases with the tongue clicking and all.

[Eleutheria5]

Entirely in line with the Jamaican bob sled team.

[Repeal The 17th]

“...The Kenya Space Agency (KSA) took charge of
collecting and analyzing the unusual debris...”

“...scientists determined the object was a
separation ring from a rocket launch vehicle...”

“...such pieces either: ... or Eventually
descend to Earth in controlled descents...”

My first comment:
Kenya has a space agency? Who knew?

My second comment:
How does a “separation ring” make a controlled descent?
