Space Garbage Men, job of the future. In all seriousness, I'm glad they're looking at solutions, because this issue can get out of hand very fast from what I've read. If we had no regard for the build up of space trash, we could have a halo of debris making leaving the planet impossible, or at the very least, dangerous.
