    The problem isn't nearly as bad as people think including most engineers. There are ways we can get rid of it, nobody just wants to pay the bill until somebody loses enough to cause a panic. Then everyone will ask why nothing was done before, nothing usually gets done before the disaster and it's almost always seen well before the event and ignored.

    yup, FACTS. im not concerned, once there's a demand to remove the debris because it's become inefficient to have things orbiting and obliterating in less than a year by junk, then that's when organizations will begin to clean stuff up there, perhaps like a tax to pay before launching to fund for cleaning up, like street sweepers on roads at midnight.

    As in many short-sighted endeavours, this too will come back to bites us in the ass. Witness the proliferation of plastic waste in our Oceans, the micro sized particles disguised as food for ocean life...and ocean life consuming said plastics. As a result ocean food-chains are being broken at the lowest levels, making for sterile oceans in due time. It is unstoppable now, it is inevitable, no protocol exists, no attempts to stop it, or even slow it down are on the horizon. This is all on an industrial scale, so, in hundred years or so, our planet will be significantly hotter, drinkable water will be virtually impossible to find, we will have significantly less ocean-life & a lethal cloud of debris will orbit our world....just about that time there will be Twelve billion of us...something will have to give....sorry, but we're really screwed.

    A very good explanation of the topic. I wonder what your thoughts are on Kessler syndrome, where the density of the space debris is high enough that it could cause a cascade reaction where each impact increases the chance another will occur. You glanced over the issue pretty quickly, and i'm not sure the risk is as small as you suggest. Should a sufficiently sized piece of debris be struck and destroyed, the resulting domino effect could be what (as some science media outlets like to call it) traps us without acces to earth orbit for a significant time.

Any clue on the probability that your plastic bottle will be recycled .. or even disposed of in a manner that renders it completely inert until 1000's of years later when it has broken down completely?

    Space suit's have a sort of proto-whipple shield as well, it's part of why they are so enormously bulky. It doesn't have the metal second layer, but the outer layer will usually shatter the micrometeorite and just leave you with a few tiny puncture wounds. If you are talking about something bigger than 1cm... well you are going to have a very bad day. If you are lucky, the impact won't break the seals on your suit and you'll be able to drag yourself back into the ship. If it's something big enough, i.e 3cm+, you are very, very dead.

    It seems like we could still benefit from the capture-satellites just to prevent older satellites that can't safely deorbit on their own from colliding and making more untrackable debris. Most of the problem seems to be that we're just adding to it faster that it naturally goes away, so if we made a concerted effort to take out these older suppliers of debris and require any new launch to have an exit strategy (either up or down), it should only take a few years before the collision rate starts to go down to more manageable levels. The laser seems like it would be too limited since it's only going to be effective against a certain range of sizes that are big enough to track and small enough to ablate meaningfully...which is still a ludicrously large number of objects and a ton of energy.

    ESA Is working on it and it’s not going well. It’s proving to be horrendously expensive and difficult to build. One issue they are having is that the satellite will need to drag a huge amount of fuel into space in order to chase down and maneuver into place to grab the offending satellite. They then will need to expend another large amount of fuel to slow down the satellite enough to de orbit it. Of course, unless they can somehow refuel this satellite in space, something we cannot currently do and likely will have no chance at until SpaceX gets its starships online, these satellites will be single use. Another option would be to use a satellite that hooks some sort of solar parachute to derelict satellites and then let them go, but the fuel needed to chase down the satellite is still an issue.

Voluntarism (a form of Anarcho-Capitalism) is derived from the Latin “voluntas,” meaning “will.” Voluntarism is the principle or policy that all human interaction should be based on voluntary participation and the rejection of all human interaction based on coercion. Voluntarism has an affirmative connotation and can stand alone, being that it is a positive act of will rather than a negative act of will or an aversion to the state. The driving principle behind voluntarism is the non-aggression principle. The non-aggression principle is the concept that no person has the right to initiate force against another. No person, no group, no organization, no corporation and no state has the right to initiate aggression against anybody else. In practical terms, Voluntarism and Anarchy have the same general implication: the formulation of a society based on voluntary association rather than coercive means. However, there does seem to be confusion in society about this concept. It seems to be based in a distortion of language (brainwashing), stemming from a long-held cultural misconception in the meaning of anarchy being misrepresented as “chaos.” Anarchy is not the absence of rules; it is the absence of rulers. Chaos, at the present time, resides in the predication of the legalized monopoly on violence known as government. The only order we can establish in a free society is that which is had through voluntary interaction between willing and peaceable participants...
