Fund a system of micro-satellites which collect orbital debris to keep our space safe!

... only once it was too late would the fools realise that the debris thus collected was being compacted into projectiles, and my satellites could launch them at any point on Earth I chose.
In all honesty, calling it Project Damocles should have been a giveaway.

It probably wouldn't be possible. Stuff we shoot into space tends to be very low density and light (for obvious reasons), so gathering it up in a large enough quantity and glomming it together to make an impactor that could survive a descent through the atmosphere is unlikely. But it's still a fun concept.
