  BTW asked our guide if any of his acquaintances were scavenging this stuff, he said smth like "some did... all of them are already dead"

    Probably to scare you out :) These seem to be the Souyz debris (green/gray painting), not too dangerous I imagine. Proton-M remains are completely different story though.

      These particular pieces may not be dangerous, but some other pieces people could find could be with a higher level of contamination. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsymmetrical_dimethylhydrazine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsymmetrical_dimethylhydrazin...

        Wouldn't the harmful stuff eventually dissipate? How long would one have to wait to safely scavenge a booster sitting in the open?
        • PeterisP 8y ago
          It's not possible to safely scavenge a booster sitting in the open, because by the time it could be dissipated it will long be scavenged unsafely by someone else.

    Maybe he read "Roadside picnic" novel recently and mixed reality with fantasy.
