Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, who traveled to the International Space Station in 2021, has invested $23 million in Astroscale, a company that specializes in space debris removal.
Maezawa acknowledged that space debris has been a significant problem for some time now, and as someone who has visited space, he understands the potential dangers posed by debris in orbit.
This investment by Maezawa in Astroscale could help address the issue of space debris, which can pose a threat to spacecraft and satellites, and help promote the safe and sustainable use of space.
