If it's small enough for aero-gel, it's not a hazard. The shuttle doesn't carry enough fuel to maneuver a whole heck of a lot, plus that would get expensive in a hurry. Also it's being de-commissioned soon. 2009/3/18 Dunn, David <David.Dunn@supervalu.com>
Would the aerogel that they used in "Star Dust" work for the smaller debris?
For the big stuff, maybe after the missions are finished, we could send the shuttle up and have them chase down and capture them. They could then push them to a lower orbit so that they would de-orbit.
