    NASA: Always Coming up with High-Tech Soultions

    Jacqui Goddard, Cape Canaveral, Florida
    November 20, 2006

    AFTER years of debate on how to dispose of unwanted clutter from the International Space Station, NASA has come up with the answer: simply open the back door and fling it out.

    The space agency that has long drilled its astronauts and international partners in the merits of responsible waste management is to relax its rules and allow the station's crew to jettison selected items of superfluous gear and broken equipment.

                      I wonder how much they spent researching this simple solution.

                          What's a few thousand more pieces of space junk for the air force to have to track 24/7.

                          The problem is that shit hitting other satellites/spacecraft not anyone on the ground as it usually burns up coming down.
