Once they find a 1 cm pebble, what are they going to do about it? *I* think it makes a case for building a laser on the ground and a redirection mirrow in space to zap these on the leading side of their orbital flight and pulse evaporate enough of them to drop them into the atmosphere. SDI proponents and those who would clean up LEO as an environmental improvement project should get together on this one! Keith Henson---A founder of the sadly lamented L5 Society
