There is actually great progress being made in trying to clean it up.
There's ideas coming out of ESA, European Space Agency.
There's some companies trying to do Pac-Man for space.
If you can fly through a relatively more crowded part of orbit with some big capture area, then you can eventually amass enough mass that you will aggregate and then burn up.
So there's some serious efforts to try to remediate the debris problem and not just solve around it.
It's the drag, yeah.
The mass and then, you're right, I should say the envelope of this thing to get more drag from the upper edges of the atmosphere.
Rendezvous Robotics is doing a priced seed round right now.
