You're saying we've polluted Mars with microplastics too!?
Not just Mars, but yes. Biodegradability isn't even a factor since there's no biosphere to speak of, which also raises philosophical questions like: "what is pollution, exactly?"
What will really bake your noodle is to imagine a future where we settle the Moon and Mars. Do old space program artifacts become monuments and parks (debris and all), or are they trash to be removed from the environment?
Removed, obviously. Gotta put that new STARbucks somewhere
