NASA says that only
about one piece of space
litter falls to earth each day.
Nearly all of this burns
up as it enters the
atmosphere.
ave you noticed that
all too often people
leave litter behind when
they go out and about?
That causes problems for
our planet and living
things.

Sometimes, astronauts drop things accidentally. And sometimes they leave things
in space on purpose. Which of these things are really floating in space? Do the
math to find out. Items that add up to an odd number are REAL. Those that add up
to even numbers are science fiction!
