DownloadIn July of 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin
left the first human footprints on the moon.
They also left two pairs of boots, a handful of tools, and four vomit bags.
This lunar litter was far from the last space junk humanity has produced.
In 2006, Suni Williams lost her camera
while tussling with a stuck solar array on the ISS.
And the following year, a similar job resulted in the loss of a bag
filled with $100,000 worth of tools.
