| Feb 7, 2018 at 15:47 | comment | added | uhoh | @Polygnome we disagree on many of the statements you've just made about intents and purposes. I think it would be a great idea to explore this further in a new question. It's late here though, so I'm signing off for today... | |
| Feb 7, 2018 at 15:41 | comment | added | Polygnome | @uhoh I don't follow, why would the presence of i.e. the Golden Record (which could very well be viewed as art) mean the Voyager probe is not space junk once it stops working? Remember that those probes were never intended to leave the solar system in the first place, and when they stop having power they stop serving any practical purpose, only merely have a symbolic / philosophical value. | |

| Feb 7, 2018 at 15:25 | comment | added | uhoh | @Polygnome I haven't enforced exclusivity. However as thrust delivery systems, those rocket bodies have, without question, been discarded, as have esentially every single rocket body before (some of) the recent F9's. They have literally been "thrown away". Most tossed into the sea, others into space. They may have historical significance, but they have been discarded none-the-less. However, the spacecraft I've mentioned have been intentionally and explicitly used for other purposes beyond propulsion. Junk doesn't get a plaque, or get strapped in with a seatbelt. | |
| Feb 7, 2018 at 15:21 | comment | added | Polygnome | Plus, I consider things like the Apollo 12 S-IVB space junk, but still also consider it of great historical importance and of cultural value. One does not necessarily exclude the other. Junk is "old or discarded articles that are considered useless or of little value." Note the "or". The car is certainly discarded and useless, as is the aforementioned S-IVB. Which is enough to qualify it as junk, it does not have to also fulfill the condition of being value-less. | |
