All toll there are about 20+ missions on the "ground" up there from both US & Soviet sources. Six Apollo landing missions and several other earlier crash & photo probes plus a few soft lander photo probes. Other junk includes now defunct orbiters and a few probes from ESA & Japan as well. Hardly scratches the surface compared to what we're doing to Terra Firma back here. vgkg

Sticks, I was on the run yesterday when I posted but wanted to thank you for bringing up the subject. Last year I posted a similar concern about the orbiting space junk and it's growing threat...thought you may be interested. My "hope" for the future is that one day the more important lunar landing/debris fields will be preserved as lunar parks/museums and saved for history & tourism. vgkg
