FYI: The Pentagon is looking for garbage collectors in space.
The nascent efforts to clean up the debris littering space are long overdue, officials say, and follow programs from Europe and other nations.

FYI: Chinese 'space cleaner' spotted grabbing and throwing away old satellite. Last month, a private satellite tracking company spotted a Chinese spacecraft apparently grabbing and throwing a dead satellite away into a "graveyard" orbit.
