no living creatures to cause it to rot

Soon termites will evolve for space environment. On a serious note this does seem cool. The amount of satellites going to burn like disposable starlink ones will be an issue. This prototype is small, but this would be good for cubesats.

Feels like one of the few instances of humans doing something about issues before shit hits the roof.
