The very Real possibility of collisions with leftover parts of previous launches, Space Debris, is a growing concern for our Space Programs. Ways must be developed to decrease the amount of junk in orbit. Collection systems need to be developed, or a way to deorbit the junk, or to vaporize it in orbit.
If it is collected then it can be recycled for the planet's benefit or the Moon's benefit.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with the problem?

TELEPRECENSE REMOTE CONTROL RACES
(Still on going planning for Races.)
The Moon Society Phoenix is still working on the Teleprecense Remote Control races.
Check this blog for details as they develop.
We are still discussing set-ups, rules, equipment and sponsorship rules at this time and it appears that the races wont occur until sometime in the late winter or early spring.
All races will be open to all comers, however, judging maybe bases on age and type (cost) of RV Car. If you prefer to buy your own car and practice for the races, then you will need a three (3) channel RC Car that can be purchased at Walmart, Target or another store. You will need a minature TV camera, a transmitter, a receiver and a device to display the picture from the Car so that you can practice driving the Car by use of the TV System only.
In the talking stages are basic racing, advanced races, and the Lunar Challenge, race heats may be run against the clock and/or one on one or more.
If you have comments and suggestions please make your comments to this blog or send them to me at portercd@msn.com Subject RC Racing.
Demonstrations of the Race Cars will be available at CopperCon32 at the Moon Society Outreach Table.
