Me neither, so I'm reasonably disappointed. Can I propose a method?

We should shoot something really sticky up there, creating a snowball effect. When it becomes to heavy it will fall and disintegrate. We will have some collateral damage, but you cant make an omelet without breaking an egg.

I think it needs a certain density of debris to get into that Katamari Kessler Syndrome.

Also you might want something with a low aerodynamic profile to help with reentry
