So there is 3,600 piles of precious metals floating around up there. How long before someone builds a space drone to snare that bounty?

- sacred_numbers 6y agoOnce we start building things in space (beyond assembling pre-built modules) it might be worthwhile, although even then it might not be worth it, since it would take a lot of fuel to move from orbit to orbit catching dead satellites. In orbit fuel is approximately just as precious as metal, so any satellite-catching drone would have to be extremely fuel efficient.
