Actual damage would be one thing, but this is simply an absurd attempted cash grab.
- ghssds 2y agoThere are laws against littering.

Incidentally, littering fines for space debris don't have the greatest track record of enforceability.[1] [1] https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/70708/nasas-unpaid-400-littering-ticket-skylab-debris-australia https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/70708/nasas-unpaid-400-l...
