Oh my gosh it just keeps coming. So, I reached out to a colleague who I trust and respect on space law issues, asking them what actually the law says about space junk on someone's farm in another country. And I fully expected to hear something like "oh yes, the Outer Space Treaty says this and this" with clear directions.
Instead, they asked for the farmer's contact info so THEY COULD TRY TO BUY THE SPACE JUNK
That's the hardest I've laughed in a really long time. Wow.
