I find this fascinating because as we get into space more and more, space debris is going to become an issue. While it's not a huge problem at the moment, it has the potential to be in the future, and it's nice to see actual, forward thinking progress being made on how to solve a problem before we're effectively trapped on our own planet by a ring of fine debris that will rip a space ship to shreds.
