To put the fuss over the hazards of the golk ball

jettison of materials from space stations -- Skylab,
Salyuts, mir, ISS, any of them -- to compare it to?

There was one Progress that separated without
adequate deorbit propellant, and what happened to the
Kvant-1 service module?

More specifically, I'm interested in EVA manual
jettsions -- trashbags, spacesuits, unneeded external
structureal elements and packing material, etc. How
big have they gotten to be?


The Saturn V second stage (S-II), that launched Skylab, also went into
orbit.
Can't get much bigger than that.
