I'm interested to know how Neil would build a "space vacuum" ....😂

[DarHar-wpmc]

Well…correct me if I’m wrong. But orbital objects decay. Specially those without assistance. So all that debris, will either come down on its own or be thrown out.

While enjoying a hot spring at night in the 1950's my friend and I watched Sputnik cross the visible sky with wonder...then "something" followed along the same path brightly, and suddenly it made a 90 degree left turn without slowing down and kept going until it was out of sight. Really...😮

Energy pulse of some kind "shoot" it from high orbit towards junk in low and medium orbit and changes velocity to enter the atmosphere and burn up 🔥

[GodTierNaz]

Somewhat like a suit of armor around the earth

This should be a joint project of humankind. Maybe we can cooperate on a few things…

If the velocity of space debris isn't a problem, Giant retractable tarp could over time reduce space debris and it would be cheap lmao

[theaberrantdon]

Sputnik was first? What about that giant manhole cover? I guess it never slowed down enough for orbit.

[dw]

Just ask Elon, im sure he will sort something out

[BiZzZzaaR]

What about the so-called black satellite wasn't that there before Sputnik?

[CalebBurgiss-ko]

I’m hoping someone smart will read this and be able to answer me but would it be possible to maybe make a big thing that can hold air from earth, put it in space with a massive amount of air and whenever an Astoroid is coming the satellite with the air knows and finds it then releases all the air to push the asteroid away

[JoeytheJerk]

Let me ask this how can a bolt that's traveling 18, 000 mph go through something else going that same speed?

[NefariousElasticity]

Give it a few more Starlink launches and it'll look like earth from Cowboy Bebop up there. The baseline challenges of space flight will soon become but a tender massage compared to dodging all the shit flying faster than bullets in orbit constantly.
