Space garbage.

It would be interesting to find out how much
it would cost the various governments & space
agencies to get rid of the space garbage,
over what time period, not to mention the
type of facilities needed to undertake the job!

A new niche business? Space clearance? Using space vacuum cleaners?

Wouldn't it be cool to be a space garbage collector though?

As a piping designer, I've come up with an idea to take care of "space
pee". Any investors?

Paul

At some point it might be a very profitable business, provided you get to keep what you pick up.

Wasn't the movie "Alien" about this? A deep space salvage team, that gets more then it bargained for?

No.  At the beginning of ALIENS, the escape shuttle (or whatever it is called) containing a sleeping Ripleyfrom the mining ship Nostromo (from Alien), is found by a deep space salvage team after 57 years.

P.S.  So you were close.  Alien was about a mining ship crew that got more than they bargained for.  : )

Well, he didn't "successfully sue" - it was settled out of court for
an undisclosed sum of money, plus partial film credits.

Time plays tricks on the memory...still sounds like a success for him rather than the studio!

Are we possibly forgetting about Quark?
