We have filled our own planet with junk now where can we litter next?
Brendan Dunphy
More space junk?
Simon Bebbington
You cannot be serious - we have messed up one planet [earth], littered near space with debris and now plan to litter the moon. Not really what we should be doing!

Great idea! I want to put 40 meter tx on mine and broadcast a beacon using CW.

Crowd sourced littering. What an original idea ... maybe the disks could be colored green to make it OK.
Gerard Wenham
Great. Automated space littering. (NOT!)

I generally support any idea that broadens the public's view of science and the world but this is crowd sourced spattering of crap into a Low Earth Orbit where we already have an increasingly severe threat from debris. Even a speck of paint shaken off a booster can impact a satellite at several times the speed of sound. A better re-imagined idea would be to crowd source a single satellite to orbit and land on the moon. If it works, we get some great pics, if it lawndarts the moon there is no real injury.

Nice to see all the comments line up. Let's clean up this place before we mess up another ... forever.

hello. Terrific way to raise funding. No verification of ever delivering to moon orbit. Perhaps encapsulating these disc satellites, and enshrining them on the surface of the moon, during the next moon mission: would satisfy every investor. Raise more investment for a rocket. I will administrate the foundation.

Nutcase the radio ham says yes yes yes. Nutcase the pollution fighter says no no no.
