Looks like what we need is a giant cosmic strainer: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-02-27/earth-s-orbiting-junkyard-threatens-the-space-economy

  I'm pretty sure Urban Dictionary has an entry for "cosmic strainer".

  It wouldn't surprise me. I think they have an entry for every possible combination of words in the English language by know. Knowing the Urban Dictionary, it's probably something vile, too.

  Another challenge for active debris removal is international treaties. Currently ownership of a satellite or rocket upper stage remains with the country that launched it even after the satellite or upper stage is no longer used. This means that one country cannot remove the debris launched from a second country without that second country’s permission.
