   Why Saskatchewan? As I posted earlier:

   1. Most of the land is southern Sask is flat, large monoculture farms, that large machines completely denude at least once a year. It's the ideal place to find space debris.

   2. Due to the orbits that have been chosen, we're under the densest band of satellites that has ever existed.
