How do you guys get rid of space debris?

[Sam II]

Me? I send up spaceplanes to blow it up! SSTO Spaceplane with Working Missiles!

I normally try to not litter in the first place rather than having to clean up afterwards.

So adding AI to booster stages then?

You can set debis from 0 to infinite, in settings. Set it to 0, and it is automatically deleted when it gets far enough away.

edit: You can also access debris in the tracking station, and recover or terminate, as needed. But its slow and tedious. They need a "select all" button.

I for my part avoid too much debris by developing my lifters in a way, that the last lifter stage gets decoupled before reaching orbit (so that it falls back to Kerbin).

Later stages that get decoupled (i.e. during interplanetary travel) get decoupled with such orbital parameters, that their chance of colliding with active spacecraft is close to zero

Not on booster stages, since I normally drop those on balistic trajectories, but on upper stages designed to reach orbit.

I have to admit I don't know how many semi-sentient AIs I've terminated that way, since I have to use the 3.75m computer core from KSP interstellar for this quite often. The damn things even have names.

Umm.. You're mental. Please seek counseling.

In career I started out not having the right tools to keep things cleaned up but after getting probe parts I just use RCS to de-orbit stages that aren't needed. I always add the big rcs tank to the top of main stages and I use some in the launch holding H to help get extra lift, then before I disconnect the stages that get me to orbit I refill my main rcs tank and then decouple.

Long story short I just use RCS to get stuff back down. That being said I still have probably 13 or so things orbitting Kerbin, a couple small but mainly large leftover stages.

If you're suggesting you're "normal", it's you I would suggest on seeking counselling. ;)
Being normal is boring. Being "weird" is awesome.

That said, making up a story for things is not that mental, as you would call it.

I was more concerned about him talking to himself (and all his imaginary friends) in the most funniest of voices.

Ps. I was trying to be funny. :(

Does deleting them in Spacecenter count?

[C0mm4nd0 WC08]

I believe so, but it is just recover when they are on the planet. If they are in space you can terminate them and to my knowledge they disapear. But then again, it may still be there just floating around.. good luck finding it. lol

[Zombo]

I like to leave the debris. Im hoping for an accident :D
edit: Its like winning the lottery.

Now look what you've done!

Inspiring me to arm one of my first flyable planes.

Joke's on the KSP Interstellar crew - they're the ones who added randomly generated names to the 3.75m computer core, not me.

Well, von Kewl Dynamics has been in talks for a while now in order to secure a spacefighter project that of course I'm going to use to obliterate some debris when testing its capabilities. You'll be noticed of it when it happens, of course.
