SpaceX, and bringing our bad habits to the moon

It seems we’ve reached the stage where humanity no longer confines its littering to Earth

Sir, – I was relieved to hear that the SpaceX rocket had finally crashed into the moon. My first thought was to hope that the Man in the Moon was none the worse for wear.

It seems we’ve reached the stage where humanity no longer confines its littering to Earth. We’ve now managed to leave our mark on the moon as well.

Perhaps the next lunar mission should carry nothing more complicated than a broom and a litter picker. – Yours, etc,

ENDA CULLEN,
