this is what they should have done, I thought at the time it was a bit
silly, but was told then that no fixings were available to secure this tank

In this case are we saying it will make it through interact? I'd doubt it
personally, and in the grand scheme of things, the small amount of gass when
taken against the volume of the atmosphere is hardly any concern. Of
course, like anything, I have felt that using the heat of re entry to get
rid of junk was a risky and short sighted business, as this is how we ended
up with rubbish mountains in the plare stations and indeed contaminated the
environment generally. IE we start small and get bigger and nobody rethinks
it until something bad happens.

As of decades ago we've trashed our environment anyway, so what's the
difference? (is that what you're saying)
