How do you all feel about throwing the garbage out in space to land somewhere on Earth. The article states that pieces may weigh up to 40 pounds. That's gonna hurt if it hits someone!

Should NASA be fined for littering?  This seems like poor judgement to me on the part of NASA and/or the astronauts.

Why is it as a species we are so messy ? Animals don't leave trash about beyond shells of things they eat, the occaisional bit of fluff and their spoor.

Even pigs are cleaner.

I don't know enough about this sort of thing to hazard a guess as to ... what were they thinking. Maybe we'll get some space guru's in here to address it.

Your right animals don't leave trash. In fact I can honestly say I have never seen an animal finish something and throw his trash on the ground for someone else to pick up. In fact, my last dog was so neat, she'd even lick the bowl when she was done eating and the time she got into the halloween candy, she ate it all, wrappers and everything.

Naked and outside...now that's a nice visual.

Could you throw in some chains to appeal to my kinky side?

What was the plan?

P.S.  I was told once that in third world countries, there is no litter...not in the form of paper or metal, anyway.  The people scavenge for the stuff to such an extent it's just not lying around...so maybe litter isn't so much a function of being human as it is conspicious consumption?  Just wondering.

P.P.S.  I have two parakeets.  I think anyone who owns a bird will tell you some animals sure do litter.  Mine seem to be looking to get their seed all the way out to the front steps, lol.

Plus alot of the so called "trash" enables us to use the internets and cell phones and gps and other wonder conviences of modern life. oh...and while we're at it,  let fine the solar system for leaving bits of itself scattered everywhere, after all isn't that "trash" left over?
