The person who invents a way to clean up orbit space will make billions if the Technology is practical.

Well, consider the high risk that the average person has dying of Covid-19. Many people think that that risk is high.

Kosmos satellite 2251 collided with Iridium SV033 in early February 2009. What a mess.

The Iridium NextGen satellites are subject to this debris still, since they orbit at the same altitudes (approx 400 nautical miles).

[Pic of Star Trek's Nomad] I knew this was going to happen.

I ran through the thread first, figuring someone would jump on it. Belaboring the obvious I guess, but I couldn't help it. :-)
