In 2018, I wrote about the burgeoning space industry. Today, updated projections and industry trends paint an even more dynamic picture, but one thing remains constant: the challenge posed by space debris.

Space debris poses a critical risk to the booming space industry, projected to grow from $350B to $3T by 2030. Defunct satellites and rocket boosters create collision risks, driving startups like Astroscale to develop cleanup solutions. The opportunity lies in commercializing space junk removal.
