The Startups Trying to Save Us From Space Junk | Big Take

There are more than 100 million pieces of space trash - defunct satellites, rocket parts, dead batteries - all floating around in Earth’s orbit.
That can pose a problem in space, of course, but it’s an even bigger one when these objects re-enter the atmosphere and crash down to Earth.
On today’s episode, host David Gura speaks with Bloomberg’s space reporter Bruce Einhorn about the startups racing to clean up space, and with a Florida homeowner who found out the hard way that this problem isn’t as far away as it seems.
Each weekday, The Big Take brings you one story-one big, important story. Host Wes Kosova talks to Bloomberg journalists around the world, experts and the people at the center of the news to help you understand what’s happening, what it means and why it matters. Money, politics, the economy and business, energy, the environment, technology-we cover it all on The Big Take.
