Too bad someone can't develop a space sweeper. Once upon a time in America people saw problems as both challenges and in some cases business opportunities.

Isn't it a rule that you have to post this picture on threads about space junk?

We have simply lost our ability to identify and solve a pending problem, even one that will be a genuine disaster. The Left has become so adept at using a crisis as a means to tighten their grip on power that they make it all but impossible to actually solve the problem. Certainly not all, but many of them embrace a crisis and have no interest in solving the problem. In fact, I suspect they introduce the seeds of a new problem or crisis seeds into the system on a regular basis. Then they carefully nurture it until it can get by on its own, then off to the next fertile field.

So many of the crisis situations we've seen in the last 10 years are directly attributable to the Left’s power mania that I find it very hard to believe it's anything other than intentional.

Our “brillant” government stirkes again. Don’t worry about tomorrow...today is all that matters.

What is needed is a series of satellites that direct laser energy at pieces of space debris to change their orbit, so they enter the atmosphere.
