"The Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act, a bill introduced last week in the House of Representatives, would establish historic preservation sites where the Apollo 11 through 17 astronauts touched down and walked on the lunar surface. The parks would contain all artifacts and footprints left on the moon and, within a year, the sites would be submitted to UNESCO to become a World Heritage Site. This is the first legislation ever proposed with the express aim of preserving and protecting something beyond the confines of Earth. And as such, it could be seen as an early step in the nascent field of space environmentalism…" Full article here link The simulation shows space junk in orbit around the Earth is impressive!

Anyone remember the US TV series "Salvage 1", which had a similar "junk collector" theme, at least initially.

The subtitle is easier to watch than the dub though – ye gods, the voice acting on the dub is painfully bad.
