There are zero reasons, and no amount of orders or threats, that could convince me a bag of **** should be left on the moon.
I would personally leave myself to die in space if there wasnt enough room to send back a bag of ****.
Until we find a way to alter the mindset that thinks that's ok and keep that stuff from happening, no amount of science is going to protect the moon any more than we're protecting the earth.

Until we change the mindset accepting such behavior, science alone won't safeguard the ova games moon as much as it does the earth.
