I want to recommend a graphic novel series called Planetes.
It's all about a character whose primary job involves EVA work collecting trash in Earth's orbit.

There is an animated series as well, but I prefer the GN. It has some good, science-based fiction concerning zero-g environments and speculation on how humans would deal with those challenges.

It's all a matter of licensing, I've been told. Seems the publishers couldn't come to terms with crunchyroll and the like.
Probably the best thing to do is to buy the manga which looks pretty good in it's own right.
