Throwing trash on the moon

[Readywife]

It really sucks in a way, not only do we trash our own planet but now we are trashing the moon.

Better the moon, than our planet.

Try not to be stupid. I mean really, truly try. Not some half-hearted effort or symbolic gesture but a genuine effot to cease being stupid.

Without the moon earth would cease to exist without the gravitational pull.

Space junk is not trash? Right...

You are also being stupid. Please stop that.

Attention Readywife and Tom!

Name me ONE detrimental ecological impact to humans, to earth or to our solar system in general from the mere handful of man-made objects that have been left on or impacted the moon. These objects represent a combined volume of metal, plastic and some confined chemicals that are probably far less than that found on an average car dealership in a large American city. These objects are widely scattered upon the 14.6 million square miles of the moon's surface area.

What streams are they likely to pollute? (Ooops. No water on the moon.)

What air might their decay spoil? (Ooops. No air on the moon.)

What animal food sources might be fouled? (Ooops. No animal or plant life on the moon.)

What visual eyesores do they present to those looking out over the lunar horizon? (Ooops. Only 12 people have ever walked on the moon.)

Pay attention to KRCummings posts about not being stupid. She is trying to help you.

That's what I meant in my earlier post!

Good God. Can people not even read the shit they post?

Scientists hope to learn something about lunar composition by observing the debris that's kicked up.

Stop being subtle. We're talking internet posters here.

I need not say anything else as long you can comprehend and read this article.

http://www******.com/spacewatch/space_junk.html

As far as littering other planets and moons we as humans have yet to fathom the consequences of introducing foreign materials to alien worlds.

just as disease destroyed the American Indian as Europeans ventured into unknown territory, that can also happen on planets and moons in the solar system.

Apparently you cannot read or comprehend the very article you linked to.

That article dealt entirely with the danger of earth orbital debris. Not one mention of objects left on the moon or other planets. The danger of a piece of orbiting space junk colliding with another orbiting satellite or manned space vehicle is remote, but nonetheless real. The fact that those dangers or the vast amount of orbital debris were once unanticipated does not present a basic contradiction of physics or chemistry.

The dangers posed by a piece of inert metal sitting motionless on the moon are simply non-existent.

Your attempt to extend the analogy of European explorers spreading disease to native Americans as posing a similar threat by planetary exploration is ludicrous.

The bacteria and viruses that produce disease are themselves life forms. They require a suitable environment that supports their survival and reproduction. Even the discovery of water ice on mars, the closest planetary relative to earth, would only indicate a small area where earth-like MICRO-biology might possibly be supported naturally on that planet. No evidence of such biology, of course, has been found.

Although a few microbes have been proven to be able to survive the direct exposure to the vacuum of space, no other planet or moon within our solar system is realistically believed to provide an environment where such organisms can actually thrive, nor will those environments be changed by our accidentally leaving traces of life anywhere within our solar system. There is simply nowhere we can leave those traces where they can survive long enough to have any effect.

We return now to KRC's orginal admonition. Stop being stupid.

This explains why, the last time I looked through my telescope at the moon, I saw an Indian dude crying.

Who are you to say when and where life begins and ends? Out of all the planets in the solar system which we now know to be billions only one has been explored for life and we still have no proof if life does or does not exist on Mars.
The moon is a fragment of Earth left over from the forming of Earth billions of years ago during a cosmic impact.

We have "junk" all over the milky way just as we have junk all over the earth, deal with it, you are wrong again and as usual I am correct.

We have junk all over the solar system not the Milky Way. The moon is lifeless. That has been confirmed over and over and over. The only "junk" on it is from scientific missions. Not one bit of actual trash and even if there were it would be harmless to that big rock and to us.
I asked you not to be stupid but you ignored me.

 

[Tom_Foolery]

This is a fine example of how life can go astray without warning.

The only stupidity on this thread is you and your stupid comments, you have no clue about any of it as usual.

Life requires oxygen and water and energy. The moon has none of that. I don't believe there is much danger.
Are you really this stupid?

And life on the moon that we're endangering with our trash. And don't forget all the junk we have in the Milky Way.

Why are you only discussing the moon? Get with the program, we are discussing the billions of other planets out there.

As far as the moon goes, no doubt about it a man made piece of junk is due to crash on the moon.

Then more junk will be on the moon.

Is that so hard for you to figure out?

I think there must be some kind of retard virus infecting the GB lately.

In your mind no, in more intelligent humans yes.

No, this thread is about junk on the moon. Maybe you know something that astronomers don't but last I heard they knew of about 100+ extra-solar planets and almost all are gas giants.
Junk has been on the moon for a long time. Do you really think this is new? Do you really think this is the first time something has been intentionally crashed into it for research?
You're an idiot.
