My science teacher back in 1996 told the class about the immense amount of garbage piling around orbit and told us that when we were older it would become a serious problem and that whoever figured out how to be "space garbagemen/women" would be very rich.
The class kinda laughed, space is so vast and who wants to be known as garbage men?
