Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak wants to clean up space junk with new company
"Apple's co-founder plans to bring disruption to a new industry: the long-standing effort to clean up dangerous space junk.
Steve Wozniak said he plans to make a private space company "unlike the others" in a cryptic tweet Sunday (Sept. 12). The tweet included a link teasing his planned company, called Privateer Space."

Not really a problem. Don't forget that at least 90% of every launch is boosters and propellant.KingNothing13 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 3:29 pm Perhaps it says in the articles, I did not read them - but where is all of the junk going to go when they collect it all?
