where does all this debris come from?
Fragment of a discussion from Comments:Debris narrowly misses International Space Station
lol... now that's a bit of wishful thinking. =P
Here's an idea: send up a magnet that will orbit around the earth and collect all of the debris! Pro: you collect a lot of harmful debris. Con: you end up with this huge blog of garbage, flying around the earth at thousands of miles per hour, with consequences more catastrophic than any one of the pieces of debris :/
