There are at least 100 bags of human waste on the surface of the Moon.
Space junk is on the rise, and no one is in charge of cleaning it up | There are at least 100 bags of human waste on the surface of the Moon.::There are at least 100 bags of human waste on the surface of the Moon.
Out of all types of space junk, I’d be least worried about stuff on the surface of the moon. If anything, these piles of human waste contain the gut bacteria of the astronauts and was exposed to decades of radiation, temperatures and extreme conditions. It will be an interesting thing to study once they’ll be able to create a research lunar base.
forgive me for not caring too much but 100 bags of waste on the moon is not only nothing, but there’s not even an environment to destroy there. i’ll worry about moon waste after we start taking care of all the waste here on earth that’s actually affecting us.
Yeah I’m not sure what the point about the moon waste is considering it’s likely inside the remainins of lunar landers. The real space junk to worry about is all the stuff in LEO that will cause problems with satellites and such in the near future
I’m not too worried about junk on the Moon, it’s not going anywhere. Space junk is an issue though, but it’s the objects in orbit that are the problem.

Build a moon trebuchet, and fling that shit into the sun
If space has one thing it is lots of space.

Yes, we should shoot all the trash directly ay the moon. It would be better than what we’re doing now…
Many eons from now, some future species will find our shit on the moon and conclude that earth bacteria created their own space program.
That’s future fertilizer to be used on the upcoming moon farms.
