Father: "So what are you going to do son? Join the fire service? Be a marine? Son: "I'm gonna be a Space Janitor, I hear they're recruiting. It's good pay, REALLY good pay."

never thought that washing machine I threw out of the Iss would cause such panic... sorry guys
-
Companies don’t have to take satellites down for 25 years?? I wonder how many companies with satellites up there have gone out of business before their 25 years was up
-
The movie WALL-E predicted it a long time ago. 😂
-
Is it weird that I always watch Astrokobi while I’m getting ready for work in the morning? It gets my mind off of the stressful day I’m about to walk into
-
Saturn : I am the only planet with rings Earth : hold my satellite rings
-
Earth: we’re going to mars, and will send more satellites to other planets Space debris: I’m ‘bout to ruin this man’s whole career
-
Aliens looking at Earth like, those creatures are filthy!
-
We have the first planet with man-made rings. This is why aliens do not come here, we are too messy lol.
-
We wouldn’t want to leave if we hadn’t screwed it up beyond repair.
-
Thats bad!! Help earth Edit: put #teamearth or #teamspace in the Comments

it would be awesome if you go and visit those companies and make a video about it, it could explain a lot. And although I´m just 11 yo, I´m already fascinated by space and actually... youre the main factor. thanks for everything astrokobi and i think i can say it from all of your watchers, you have really helped a lot of people to become interested in this stuff and maybe even become astronomers, so thank you
-
Thank you Kobi, because of you I am going for a degree in Astronomy, thank you for giving me some information, I will continue to study astronomy :D
-
"We'd reach mars by 2100" Our problem currently:
-
I would really like to see you visit one of these companies, I would love to know more!
-
This is actually terrifying because it will not stop as long as corporations have zero incentive with the large swaths of land they buy. When viable land becomes scarce along with resources, they will make sure they are safe somehow while the rest of us are left with increasing dangerous natural disasters or death by malnutrition.
-
I don’t believe that will be stuck on this planet for indefinitely, because eventually we will develop for interstellar our space travel faster than light speed like in Star Trek.
-
Seen it proposed to use sponges to capture the smallest debris. Not exactly sure what the sponges should be made of, but they would be light and compact during launch, and "sponge out" to their full size in orbit.

Pollution is everywhere
