      Fun fact! NASA was working a module for the ISS in the early 2000's called a laser broom. It would have automatically tracked via radar, and shot lasers at, small debris to help deorbit them quicker. There were several working prototypes, but it was cancelled at 70% completion.

      Good thing that's not about to be a problem.

        Chances are the workforce would he underpaid labourers, because the employer now has leverage of controlling the workers access to air and to a way off the job site. Automation is hard, cutting off the air supply is easy.
