note that including dead things in orbit

(that we currently have no way to remove)

is actually 32,000 not just 14,000

what we need is the investment for "space roombas" that go around bumping things out of orbit that are dead or did not de-orbit properly

the problem is all that atmospheric burnup creates a lot of toxic pollution

Nature takes care of this for us in LEO. I’ve seen no serious plans to put millions of anything anywhere else.
