The point of this short story by William Kotzwinkle is that we have made negative changes/effects on the Earth which are irreversible. The Collector talks about the corrosion on the sphere, the rust, etc. and says that "once the corrosion began, it couldn't be reversed." This short story refers to us damaging the environment, and our futile attempts to save it.
