There is a growing need for space trash collectors. The international space station had to use its thrusters to divert a collision course with space trash. Scientist believes greenhouse gas are lengthening the life of space trash. According to the article from Science News August edition, author Janet Raloff addressed the concern which plagues satellites orbiting earth. Apparently the need has been recognized but the financial reality imposes a stumbling block.
Wow! I would have never thought about the need for a trash collection in outer space. I guess in the coming years we will need to look into pollution in space.
