“Sixth European Conference On Space Debris”
What did they come up with at the first five conferences?
“I say that debris in space is bad!”
“Me too! I want it on record that I’m against space debris!”
“And weak mixed drinks! We can all be against that!”
“Yes! And large sodas in space! Maybe we should have a subcommittee on that.”

“Head of The European Space Agency Space Debris Office”.
“Excuse me, but do you know where the head of The European Space Agency Space Debris Office is?”
“Maybe you should get a map of the solar system and see if he’s in Uranus.”

It could be a money maker for someone who could pull everything together as a space salvage expert.
Remember the old 1979 TV series with Andy Griffith called "Salvage One?"
I remember he made hi own spaceship, "the Vulture," went to the Moon and salvaged some of the old junk from the Apollo missions.

The 200 most crucial satellites identified by the space community have an insured value of $169.5 millionOnly $850k per satellite? Why so low?

Solar collectors at Lagrange points that either focus and emit concentrated light or convert it to a narrow beam laser. With the light or laser you could vaporize the small objects and with the larger objects you could vaporize a surface point to impart earthward momentum...
