Apollo's Lunar Leftovers

From the article:

"Astronauts could potentially replace the batteries in the rovers and reuse them, if their gears and other moving parts are not full of dust," Starr said. "Perhaps they could recharge the oxygen and carbon dioxide scrubbers in the Apollo backpacks, or get some use out of the helmets and gloves. But after all this time on the surface, dust could have gotten into everything. Use of this equipment would require careful analysis and planning, since it wasn't designed to be reused."

I hope future visitors leave the stuff where it is. I foresee the all the landing sites being roped off and made into Historical parks. Maybe they’ll have some kind of boardwalk, like the do in the Yellowstone geyser basin. Or maybe each site will be viewable from an enclosed observational platform. I can just see my great grandkids visiting such a historical site.

The astronauts had some fun, too. Alan Shepard, commander of Apollo 14, hit three golf balls that still remain in the Moon's Fra Mauro region. His first two shots didn't fare well, but his third swing sent the ball sailing for "miles and miles and miles," Shepard reported.

One day I bet someone will find those golf balls, and they will be priceless.
