I would hope with all that mass to orbit you can also work on space debris cleanup. For example using lasers somehow.

- WillAdams 2y agoThe energy and velocity and economics and distances just don't add up for that. (I would love to be wrong)
- mystified5016 2y agoSolar powered satellites in counter-rotating orbits. A low powered laser focused on the leading edge of a piece of debris will (very) slowly bleed velocity until it drops into a decaying orbit. It'd be exceptionally slow, but with machine vision you can just let it auto-acquire targets unattended for a few decades or centuries.
- M95D 2y agoDo you have any ideea how fast debris passes by (or hits) in a counter-rotating low orbit?
