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.

“...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?

Saw a funny movie once about a coke bottle that fell out of the sky like that.

That metal ring did not re-enter Earths atmosphere from Space. It is not burnt looking at all.

Kenya Space Agency ... I’m sure it is well staffed with very highly paid relatives of the current political biggies, and that they attend all the major conferences that international organizations like to hold in five star resort locations.

They might even think about space from time to time.

Talk about “burying the lede.” The big news is that Kenya has a Space Agency — who knew?
