There really needs to be mandatory insurance for GEO satellites. If your satellite fails to reach the graveyard orbit, the insurance pays the towing fees.

  Reminds me of the series Planetes. I would definitely be a garbage man if it meant working space and EVAs.

    Not quite the same, but I'm reminded of the short lived show "Salvage 1", starring Andy Griffith [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvage_1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvage_1

      Interesting, I hate that these types of shows appear to be lost to the ages. I can't find it to buy (there are a handful of episodes available for purchase on DVD on Amazon for something like $17/per) and I don't see it come up on streaming services either.

      I loved that show when I was a kid. The science was pretty bad, but the stories were great.

    One of my all-time favourite sci-fi shows. The setting manages to mix the banal and the excitement of space so well.

    In that case you might be interested in Hardspace: Shipbreaker[1] game which is currently in early access. There are some gameplay videos already, for example Scott Manley's[2].
