Over the decades, space exploration and research has led to some beneficial spin-offs here on the ground.
| Two crewmen aboard the International Space Station on Thursday prepared for a spacewalk during which more than 1,600 pounds (726 kg) of obsolete gear will be tossed overboard and left to burn up in Earth’s atmosphere. |
Well, not beneficial spin-off.
If they can get away with that, can I do something somewhat similar? May I? Please?
I have a microwave and a clothes dryer and a couple of lawnmowers that I don’t want to pay to dump in the landfill. I could just push them over the hill. I’m sure the odds are less than 1:5000 that one of them will land on the road below, and much less that someone down there will get landed on.
