What is stopping us from putting a satellite in space that's just a big solar array and a precision aimed cutting laser that we use to vaporise space junk?.
We use existing ground installations for tracking.
It's basically a Hubble telescope with a big laser pointer in the lens.
I don't even think the cost would be unreasonable. It's not even very high tech.
