Satellite captures space junk for the first time

Only 39,999 more to go.

Maybe they can use something like that to start collecting the garbage islands that are floating around the ocean.

The net is attached to a satellite that will drag the junk back into the atmosphere where it will burn up safely and never fall on your family or their stuff. Ever. Or maybe it will fall on someone in one of those shithole countries.

Since Uranus is full, we can stuff them in the newly discovered planet Myanus.

Better yours than mine.

Hey we need another anus planet. We can call it Ouranus, so we all can share.

Something that huge, they surly probed Uranus. No wonder why E.T. wanted to phone home.

I wouldn't have designed it like that.

We know how you design things.
