    Now being tested by Japan, soon in every aerotech component market around the world.

    Japan launches a cargo ship carrying a space junk collector designed to gather debris in space.

    Right. Next thing you know the space whales they catch with this harpoon and fishing net will only be for the purposes of scientific study.

      The innovative device was made with the help of a fishing net company.

      The junk collector is the latest in a series of ideas put forward to tackle the problem, including harpooning

      they caution that the Japanese scheme will only work for bigger pieces of junk


      By "bigger pieces of junk" they mean whale.

        "Bigger pieces of junk" means Chinese satellites...

            There's a saying in Japan -- "Give a man a whale and you feed him for months, but teach him to hunt whales and he thinks he's a rocket scientist!"

                    I can think of tastier space things:

                    A meat and potato pie attached to a weather balloon has been "sent into space".



                    A meat and potato pie attached to a weather balloon has been "sent into space".

                    The pioneering pastry - believed to be the first ever launched into the stratosphere - was launched from Wigan earlier.

                    Space enthusiasts have attached a camera and tracking equipment and monitor the pie's progress as it soars above the Earth's crust.

                    The aim is to see if its journey, of up to about 100,000 feet, changes the molecular structure of the pie.

                    Pie-makers from St Helens who were commissioned to make the pie ahead of the World Pie Eating Championships next week.

                    They said they thought it would freeze on its ascent and be cooked on re-entry.

                      Is that what they mean by "pie in the sky"?

                        I hope so, because that's what I named the attached photo.

                          Space whales need to be extnsively researched.

                          I gather "scientific research" consists of crowd sourced taste testing.
