  • Space travel is the most exciting adventure for humanity, but in an irony of history we may stop ourselves from going into space the more we do it. With every rocket launched we are creating a deadly trap for mankind.

      That's a rather sordid way of looking at things. If you pollute and just leave a planet, how many more will you potentially destroy before eventually, you need to cleanup your galaxy? Remember, since everything is moving away at faster than the speed of light there are no other galaxies you can practically run to.

      Makes sense;

      Going to move my original post here because I think you said something similar but in a smarter, more eloquent way...
      What about launching large blobs of some type of "play dough" or whatever size/density/other properties "soft/gooey" material to just "soak up" the smallest pieces. I am not smart enough to know how this mission could be carried out, but it would be much easier to track, especially if it had some special reflective properties or even some type of transmitter fitted. I went to St. Augustine, Florida and there is a giant fort hundreds of years old right on the coast. It still stands, seemingly basically unscathed. The stone available to build the fort had the perfect properties to just absorb any cannonballs/artillery fired at it. Such a cool tech, I am not even sure if the engineers knew how great their material was, or it was just all they had to work with....

I am not smart enough to know how this mission could be carried out, but it would be much easier to track, especially if it had some special reflective properties or even some type of transmitter fitted. I went to St. Augustine, Florida and there is a giant fort hundreds of years old right on the coast. It still stands, seemingly basically unscathed. The stone available to build the fort had the perfect properties to just absorb any cannonballs/artillery fired at it.

    I have an idea about this, but would appreciate some advice since I don't know if the physics would work: What about sending up a tank of expanding construction foam (like Great Stuff) to form a gigantic, hard foam ball in orbit? If it were allowed to remain there or could be maneuvered around to the areas with lots of junk, could it act to collect debris? If so it would sure be a nice low-cost solution, and as an added bonus the collisions would eventually slow the ball down enough that it would de-orbit itself and burn up, along with all the junk that had rammed itself into the ball. :)

We just need to develop a type of gum that stays malleable and sticky in the vacuum and radiation of space, launch it into orbit, let it be hit by debris (which will hopefully get stuck on the gum) and then fall back down to earth. Easy-peazy 😂

      There's also the issue of weapon fire. Energy weapons might dissipate enough to not to damage to planets, but if space ships use large enough material projectiles, and when shooting happen to be pointing in the general direction of the planet, that could potentially result in "Rod of God" type scenarios as just collateral damage.

Only problem is they can really only shoot down bean sized objects, and for very every piece they shoot down hundreds more replace them so they're not even making a dent... but hey they're trying!
