"Kilroy was here"! There is a lost golfball on our moon that may be worth millions to the person who finds it. There is a glove, camera, and a bag of tools in orbit around earth. We have to do some house cleaning of our junk as the speed that these things (even the tinyest) travel can kill a space traveler. The wonderfull probes we send in all directions will someday become hazards to navigation. There have been many close-calls between the ISS and pieces of old boosters and dead satelites. I say that if something comes close enough to the ISS, it should be collected or sent burning Earthward.

Walking at a brisk pace on Mars might require one to lean so far in the direction of travel that one could possibly find his nose in the sand...hence the Martian Trundle...a more leisurely stroll enabling one to take his time, view and photograph the scenery, vaporise an occasional rock for spectral analysis, and smell the canal roses.

My hat is off the engineers and NASA for making this possible. Absolutely great and inspiriing.
