[@batoncharge]

Would love to be a space junk salvager, picking up all the precious scrap, in a batterd old junk ship, like a pikey in space 😂

Tons of gold just waiting in line to burn up in the earth's atmosphere...

Sputnik was not the earth's first satellite... First ARTIFICIAL satellite...

The simple solution is a space dossier, a craft with a kevlar shelled in front that can be tilted to deflect the debris into the earth.

Kevlar magnet impregnated parachute towed behind a drone ship.

I bet that if Space X engineers used the Starships capacity to launch starlink they could design a smaller than starlink (100+ per launch) multiuse garbage men that could make required disposal as part of the Launch cost, affordable and maybe gain on the the detritus in orbit before the death bloom.

Can't you send up some special Henry Hoover's?

[@THECXLD]

Uuuuhh get Elon and Nasa to clean it up...

[@jarmengolalbanell]

Wating for arpoon tests that "will take place in 2020" ... the past future?

Has anyone noticed that there has been a decline in the number of UFO sightings since the 1950's and we started littering the near-space around our planet? The "alien's" don't want to scratch or dent their shiny spacecraft with all the junk we've put up there!😊

[@johoch40]

Pretty tragic!

[@jw4879]

How much gold is estimated to be floating around in space junk?

[@ahosie]

A trivial amount when compared to the cost to put it up there, and dwarfed by the cost to bring it back down intact

[@jarmengolalbanell]

One web? Starlink missing.. too outdated!

[@K.B.gamez420]

couldn't you just burn it up in the atmosphere??

[@legend7ify]

........... maybe laser it?
