Some day all of those will be valuable cultural artifacts. Or alternatively, they'll be all that's left of humanity. I guess we're moving towards the second scenario right now.

Valuable, but also radioactive and locked away probably

I call dibs on the urine, and vomit bags.

200 tons is less than I would have expected honestly.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I'm shocked it's that much!

Guess it depends if it's 200 tons worth moon-weight or 200 tons here on Earth.

I'm expecting all of those bits and pieces will be used in the construction of lunar settlements. It took a lot to get that stuff up there, may as well use it in place.

Nobody is going to use 1960s tech to build a base on the moon. Not to mention that those are literally history.

Someday a tourist will plant their foot right on top of Armstrong's first step and take a selfie while their friends chip pieces off the lander for souvenirs.

Why not? If you need x feet of wall to insulate against radiation, why toss some treated relics in with the soil mix?
