NASA criticism of the day

DARPA is looking for ideas on how to clean up NASA's astounding orbital mess.

Best idea so far: launching water into space and using it as a collision device to slow down orbital debris and send it into a burn-up in Earth's atmosphere. Because, explosions of ice wouldn't exacerbate the problem at all.

Here's TAE's cheap, practical solution:
Recruit a sqaudron of X-Wing fighters led by Wedge Antilles to streak in and blast all the space debris with their laser cannons and proton torpedo banks.
