Would the aerogel that they used in "Star Dust" work for the smaller debris? For the big stuff, maybe after the missions are finished, we could send the shuttle up and have them chase down and capture them. They could then push them to a lower orbit so that they would de-orbit.

Hi Friends, My latest blog is about an idea of mine to get rid of

debris. Please comment on the blog's site about whether it's a good idea or just dopey. Thanks, Joe
