[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 993807, member: 369937"] Retrieving and recycling space junk looks to be the next "Fred Sanford" type of business, no telling on how much gold, platinum and other valuable stuff is out there just waiting to be picked up and recycled. However some space recycling laws may need to be put down or someone could start a war if the other guys what looks to be junk spy satellite was picked up as space junk. I could see this as a robotic mission as some of this stuff is out of the normal manned mission orbital guide lines, the furthest we have been in orbit around Earth with a manned mission is about 350 miles, this to service the Hubble. There are tons of old dead or dying satellites out in the 22500 mile Clark Belt parked in graveyard orbits, most are out of maneuvering fuel to move them into a decaying orbit to burn up, these would make for some nice recycled parts. However the price of these parts must cover and exceed the cost of the launch of any recycling mission or it's a dead deal. Anyone with some ideas on startup capital?? [/QUOTE]
