This kind of strategy, ie targetting a small number of debris that create the most risk, makes this problem more manageable than deorbiting thousands.

This give some hope to avoid the Kessler Symdrom. Altough space agencies would need to deorbit junk faster than they're orbiting it.

I'm all for this, but can we get someone to include somebody who will check for american trash? I bet we can drop it even lower!

Really I think we should just start with getting SpaceGodzilla down. Hes eaten so many satellites this year alone. The whole meteor defense idea was great on paper, but I swear, nobody at NASA has ever considered the real-world consequences to their actions...

I would love to see an XPrize type bounty system on these. Putting out something like a $50 million reward could start a great race to clean up orbit. The prize just can't be so low that a cheapo beater satellite collides with the target and makes matters worse.
