  1. This is pretty cool! I wonder why they set the bar with 25 years of not being in use so low. Couldn't they design sattelites so that they are disposed of the day they lose function?

  2. The audio quality is terrible. It sound like she is in a subway bathroom with the mic on the other side of the room. Her voice is almost completely jammed out by reverb. Very hard to understand and very distracting. If you are going to put this much effort into a video, why can't you just put the mic near her mouth?

  3. Why not have one with an arm that could put something to resurface and then go for something else and dothat same again?? It's a mess up there and we've (USA) has put a lot of it there

  4. Is a spaceRider planned to grab and move a satellite?

    a net, a harpoon, it's good for big debri. What are the tools to consider for small debris less than 10 cm? magnetic fields, "physical shield" to capture them in a thick layer of matter? other ?
