Space Waste Transporter: Going Where No Garbage Man has Gone BeforeJacksonville, FL (SPX) Oct 24, 2011 With the growing number of incidents of falling space debris in the news, there is a pressing need to find an alternative solution. John D. Arwood, a Native American and owner of Arwood Waste, proposes a possible solution to our space waste problem. Arwood Waste has proposed a Space Waste Contract to Together Waste for the collection and disposal of space junk. This innovative concept outlines an orbital junk removal program that Arwood is calling, the Space Waste Transporter. The Space Wast ... read more |
