Abstract
Hundreds of millions of objects are orbiting our planet, 94 per cent of which are pure machine debris. Space archaeologist Alice Gorman, who is Senior Lecturer at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, takes this AD's investigations beyond the Earth's surface and out into the near universe – looking at the material and cultural implications of the status quo, and reflecting on possibilities for the years and centuries to come.
