The problem of space debris and all kinds of junk flying around in earth orbit is a big problem for spaceships and satellites. Even a tiny piece of junk can cause serious damage and with more stuff being sent up there, more and more space debris is created. A lot of it is discarded parts of old satellites or other things and I was wondering if any of it could still be useful? Could some of these things be recycled? Would it be feasible to launch some sort of a "cleaner" craft to collect all this garbage and launch it into space junkyard, for example maybe in orbit around the moon? this could potentially create a supply of raw material for construction in space and also solve the space debris issue. Would this be feasible? Or is the junk just worthless? However I do think just getting most of the debris out of the way would be of benefit.
