Space-Junk, and the High Cost of Caprice
After more than half a century, humankind is making ready to return to the moon. In addition to prosaic requisites such as air, food, water, and fuel, Artemis’s Orion spacecraft will carry a host of symbolic trinkets moonward. These include: Girl Scout badges, LEGO figurines, digitized student essays, tree seeds, a pen nib with which Charles M. Schulz drew Peanuts cartoons, and a great many additional bits and bobs.
