More on Orbital Space Debris

The US Airforce, NASA and other agencies are looking for ideas to find and eliminate threats from space debris to craft (space, in the use of). Personally I like the idea of "robots to serve as roving garbage scowls" - my question is "How do they identify 'garbage'?" - Would the ISS qualify?" I don't know what happened to the laser broom.

make a game out of it

[Patersmith]

Make an unmanned, remote controlled space craft that shoots some sort of projectiles. Virtualize the control by computer display and joystick.

You could literally make this into a new high-tech never-before-heard-of military game where you just fly around and shoot bits of debris to break it up into smaller bits of debris until it's gone.
