I will never forget the night when I saw Salyut 7 and Mir, PLUS a Soyuz - AND numerious bags of trash. I forget how many objects there were total. The trash bags were binocular objects about 1M in size I guess. This was the moment when the crew was abandoning Salyut 7 and moving to Mir. This memory will stay with me forever.
