recycle space junk in space
space junk in orbit around earth could be moved to a cluster in a higher orbit around earth not as space junk but as future recyclable raw material for industrial activity beyond earth a reusable rocket travels into earth orbit the reusable rocket carries many small rockets onboard the reusable rocket uses it's solar panels to charge a magnetic accelerator and uses a magnetic accelerator to launch each small rocket toward a space junk object when small rocket approaches space junk object the small rocket fires it's engines to slow down then the small rocket attaches to space junk object and uses it's engine to push space junk object to a higher earth orbit the effect would be that a swarm of small rockets would push a lot of space junk into a cluster in high earth orbit and when the technology is ready for industrial production in space then the space junk will be recycled into industri...
