What about Voyager?
Doing science, not just an advert.
I don't understand why you're so heated up about it...
Because there is masses of space junk about and some orbits are going to become unusable. Our past habits of dumping stuff in the sea have polluted the oceans, space is next on our list of places to trash. If we want a future in space we should look after our corner now.
What about all those pesky satellites cluttering up Earth's orbit, should they all be pointed at the sun as well?
They do something useful now and when they are spent they are mostly deorbited and burn up in the atmosphere.
Send up a one ton something with control and propulsion so that if it goes to plan it can be directed to the sun or something, not hanging around for eternity*.
