9,000 pieces of orbiting junk, weighing a total of more than 5,500 tonnes

some funny part :

Quote:

old rocket launchers, tools and instruments dropped by astronauts, and pieces of exploded spacecraft. Examples include a glove lost by astronaut Ed White during a 1965 space walk, a camera that Michael Collins let slip in space in 1966 and a pair of pliers that an International Space Station astronaut recently let slip through their fingers.

sounds like a good potential for a garage sale .... :upsidedow

They say it's starting to pose a hazard to future space missions, right?

Go collect the junk and then sell it on Ebay ! I am sure you will find a buyer.
Good luck

Just got to get past that whole issue of it costing around 10,000.00 per pound to launch something so we can clean the shit up. Im thinking a super huge as electromagnet and then turn it on. Then again hell it may fuck with important shit or mess with their orbits.

Some giant space net, tow it behind a craft and when full enough drop it into the atsmophere.

Hell how in the fuck do you clean up space?
