I wonder if "would be cleaned up rather quickly" means hours, months, or decades?

- m4rtink 3y agoIIRC single digit years probably - Apollo missions released a couple sub satellites and missions control was then very surprised when those satellites lost altitude and crashed in a matter of months. In comparison, there is likely still stuff from the 60s in orbit around Mars, and that's for a body with (thin) atmosphere.
