@cstross@wandering.shop Agreeing with @Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it here, the scale of what is being launched into space now by private enterprise dwarfs anything that NASA did for the collective. That is the rub. Scientifically, this accident may yield interesting and useful results. But it is not due to any planned experimentation; it is a symptom of a large extraterrestrial pollution problem that extends from the one we have created on our own planet. We are slobs. @Rhube@wandering.shop
