Yes, I know "it"...and do you know many such missions have been flown as of today, how much debris has actually been collected as of today, and how much debris needs to be collected?

Just to give you a clue according to some authorities such as NASA there are something like half a million objects of marble size or bigger in Low earth orbit..object the size of a paint fleck have damaged the windows of structures such as the ISS and Space Shuttle..it's a serious issue, there's potentially a heck of a clean up job and it's not even started...
