Hello Greg,
Where do you read that an astronaut, "..threw it (ammonia tank) overboard
(from the International Space Station) during a space walk in July 2007."? I
find it highly unlikely that material would be purposely tossed into space
to potentially be a floating target for future spacecraft and/or satellites
to hit. I do not think NASA has the same mindset that some cruise ship
operators have by throwing their bags of trash into the ocean.
My thoughts!
Greg

Subject: [meteorite-list] Space junk - marine life - shame on NASA
""The junk was a tank full of ammonia coolant on the international space
station that was no longer needed. Astronaut Clayton Anderson threw it
overboard during a spacewalk in July 2007.
Space station program manager Mike Suffredini said Monday that the debris
splashed down somewhere between Australia and New Zealand Sunday night""
Am I alone in the idea that Nasa should be held criminaly liable for the
polution of our waters?
If an ordinary person was to dump toxic material into the ocean, surely we
would be in alot of trouble... just becouse they are Nasa does not make
them above the law. Ammonia is highly toxic to marine life!
It is my opinion that this was an outright disrespect to the enviorment
and a potential hazard to the marine life in the area of impact.
I am very upset about this and feel Nasa was totally wrong for the actions
they have done.
This could have been handled in a much better fashion, and I for one would
like to see Nasa held accountable for this.
I am really upset about this whole situtation.
surely if it had fallen on someones propery NASA would be in alot of
trouble...
Shame on you NASA. Shame on you Clayton Anderson.
