Space Recycle station
It’s time to start a space recycle station, to pick up the used satellites, expanded rockets or any metal pieces that can be found floating around Earth.
With the launch of satellites constellation such as Starlink, it would be great to recycle such metal objects rather than let it burn up on reentry into Earth atmosphere.
Along it can be a factory to build new satellite or spacecraft in orbit. It’s time to really reuse such materials in space rather then the current practice of launching new spacecraft from earth and let the old machines to burn up on reentry.
Of course, there are logistical task to complete before the recycling can start to take place. To begin with a sizeable spacecraft would be needed to perform such a task and a permanent crew would be needed.
