Space garbage is going to become a huge issue especially as China and Russia dump a load of satellites into orbit over the next few years, doesn't help that Boeing has completely shat the bed as a company making repairs and upgrades to the ISS logistically difficult due to supply problems.

Contrary to popular belief. Such things as light emitting Shields, like what you would see in a sci-fi filum or series to protect a space ship, do actually exist on Earth and have proven working capabilities. The only problem is that they cover about a meter square maximum and the generator/transistor/capacitor is the size of an 18 wheeler plus the truck. Not much help to those up in that there space at the moment, but when we get around to re-engineer more of that Alien technology, I'm sure these types of simple space junk safety systems will be common place.
