    Clean space junk using "Aero-Gel Collectors"

    Launch expandable arrays of Aero-Gel debris collectors that orbit until they are filled up with junk then enter the atmosphere to burn up(dispose of) collected space junk. The key is make it cheap and launch a lot of them to get the economy of scale.
