why can't we just throw some powerful magnets into orbit so that all of the trash will clump together into a ball over time?
>>16880012Most spacecraft are not made of ferromagnetic materials.
Tractor beam soft guided landings.Its not rocket science.Levitational clasp assist.Multi Point Teleportation lasers.Is it really a puzzle? That's dangerous?Rather than reliably solved?
>>16880012The Earth is a big magnet. The debris is already in the Earth's magnetic field.
>>16880012We actually can do that. but it would be dangerous because larger objects cause more damage. If you clump stuff together you are just making bigger threats.
>>16880012the magnets just become more debris
>>16880012We should just shoot at it.
>>16880012because you have the knowledge of a 5 year old and are clearly destined for a career of flipping burgers
>>16880012inverse square law is a bitch
Why aren't there any ancient satellites in orbit? Is it suspicious the Lagrage poitns* of Earth are so empty?
>>16882218What do you mean by ancient? 1950s ancient or a civilization from over 10,000 years ago that has been erased by the sands of time?
>>16880012It should be some powerful laser that targets the debris and slows it down
>>16880012No. If anything we should be throwing more objects up there.
>>16880012No. Use a Gravity beam
>>16880012I nominate this thread as the dumbest thread on /sci/ for 2026.
is it even a problem there's trash in space? most of it burns up before it reaches us.
>>16880012You see anon, if that pic was to scale, then every satellite there would be the size of a city. Since we know that's not the case, we can conclude that pic is fucking retarded and so are you.
What if we shot out microscopic streams of magnetic particles, and they were tractor beams
