Our solar system may be the liveliest thing for trillions of miles, but all the visible stuff in it ,, the Sun, the planets and their moons, the billion or so tumbling rocks of the asteroid belt, comets, 、、、 and other miscellaneous drifting detritus fills less than a trillionth of the available space.
The experts believe the machine should be able to collect half of the detritus in the patch – about 40,000 metric tons – within five years.
