Portland is a great place to live! Glad there are so many of us on here.
Yeah, I love it here too.
I'm from VanCrazy!!

I think you got a great idea.
Now assuming that the Tech can be implemented..
The problem becomes paying for it!???
We can't even fund schools as you well know..
Let alone some thing of this magnitude..

My solution to that is We Divert Billions from the Military Budget, and get International support as well.

Robots cleaning large space debris doesn't seem that great/possible. Because of the sheer speed at which it travels.
I think firing something at it,like an Electromagnetic PulseRay Like in the video game Asteroids to divert its course might be more feasible..

Interesting thread.
Thought provoking!

Still, I'm wondering how Han Solo walked around the Millenium Falcon??
Is there a way to induce Earth like-Gravity??
Gravity Inducer..??

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
