This was 40+ years ago, and as an object with a large surface area/mass ratio, it could not remain in low Earth orbit very long and, sadly, burned up on re-entry many years ago. Every breath you take probably contains a few molecules of CO2 and other various oxides from the event. ?howard On Feb 20, 2014, at 12:26 AM, Mark Kronquist <mak at teleport.com> wrote: > Three?
