The Kessler Effect and how to stop it

Cross-posted to 6 groups.

NASA space debris expert Don Kessler observed that, once past a certain 
critical mass, the total amount of space debris will keep on increasing: 
collisions give rise to more debris and lead to more collisions, in a 
chain reaction. So Clean Space is seeking not just to cut debris 
production from future ESA missions but to reduce the total mass of 
current debris, such as the robotic salvage of derelict satellites. The 
task is an urgent one: debris levels have increased 50% in the last five 
years in low orbit.
