This conference isn't far away across the Bay, and if I had nothing better to do it might be fun to see if there any far-fetched ideas up against more conventional ones. (Actually, right now just about anything planned to remove orbital debris will be pretty far-fetched. But it would be fun to find out what's being considered.)
Seems to me the main problem is small debris. Large debris; just catch up, strap on a thruster, and send them into the ocean.
