There has been little commercial incentive to reduce space debris since the associated cost does not accrue to the entity producing it. Rather, the cost falls to all users of the space environment who benefit from space technology and knowledge. A number of suggestions for increasing incentives to reduce space debris have been made.

Players can gather natural resources (such as ore, stone, etc.) or salvage ships and space stations found throughout the universe in order to craft certain parts and items using the manufacturing feature. The game has a weight-based inventory system and players are limited to the amount of items they can carry.
Millions of pieces of space debris, defunct artificial objects in space, are orbiting Earth. [10] On average, one cataloged piece of space debris falls back onto the planet every day, potentially posing a risk to organisms and property. [11] In total, an estimated 80 tons of space debris re-enter Earth's atmosphere every year.
The survival of some microorganisms exposed to outer space has been studied using both simulated facilities and low Earth orbit exposures. Bacteria were some of the first organisms investigated, when in 1960 a Russian satellite carried Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus, and Enterobacter aerogenes into orbit. [1]
Throughout time, Animals in space have ensured suitable conditions for human exploration. Larger animals including dogs, monkeys, cats, mice, tortoises and others, have been vital to many excursions, as have insects. The fruit fly has frequently been utilized for space travel, due to its comparable genetics to that of humans. [2]
The system has 4 major components. The Transporter is used to safely house the rodents while being transported from Earth to the space station. This is also referred to as the Animal Enclosure Module-Transporter(AEM-T). [8] As the trip from Earth can take up to 10 days an Environmental Control and Life Support System(ECLSS) is required.
