Re: The Moon Is Not Your Trash Bin



I think the organization ought to pay for a cultural
resource
investigation of the site. It should only take a few
archaeologists on
the moon to map, photograph, measure and inventory the
cultural
elements (footprints, flag, rover, etc.)

I'd be willing to sign up for that bit of rescue
archaeology!

You could finance such a mission by selling copies of the
first step.

Such a copy would be priceless, since the first footprint
no longer
exists. It was obliterated by all the foot traffic during
the mission.
However, I'm sure you could find several like it where
they only walked
once. Most people wouldn't know the difference.

There's no need to wish for the moon.
In my peregrinations around auction houses and even dumpster
bins I have seen tons of old photos and notebooks trashed
and wasted. All that info gone for ever. One example I
remember there were several large cartons stuffed with the
stock of an old photographer's firm, all large-frame photos
of superb quality of weddings and family shots, buildings
and God knows what else. These ordinary images are
priceless because it's the sort of thing nobody records.
