Default Space Debris Remediation Seen As A New Business Area

"Last week NASA and DARPA sponsored the
first-ever International Conference on Orbital
Debris Removal. This was a completely
unrestricted and open two-and-one-half intense
days of "trash talk" about the nature of space
debris, possible approaches to a solution and
legal aspects."

I can't see anything getting done until so many satellites are getting
trashed that the cost of doing nothing is seen as higher than the cost
of doing something.

Which might mean nothing ever is done. This is the commons all over
again. A cow or sheep for every blade of grass until
the commons can't support a cow or a satellite.

Certainly for individuals it's probably cheaper to build and launch
armour plated satellites. Of course, when two of them collide.....

If then There's a Japanese hard SF TV series about space debris
collection which assumes it would take a ship being destroyed by trash
before the job gets even minimal funding.
