Soon space gipsies will be scouting around graveyard orbits looking for scrap and dead sats they can bring back to life for cash money. And rightly so, bless ’em.

Not sure how many dead satellites we want to bring back to life but this brings hope to a few of them. A really interesting avenue of progress considering all the space junk we have hidden ourselves behind.
