This reminds me of planning for retirement, death, decommissioning, etc. E.g. – at end of life, what is the cost and method of dismantling a nuclear power plant, lumber mill, or chemical plant.
This is definitely a risk for the private space industry to achieve their goals if they gotta keep dodging deadly, little buggers like nuts and bolts flying around at 15,000mph or greater…
Best,
