Ologies: Space Archaeology (SPACE JUNK) with Alice Gorman

Gaze into the cosmos and wonder at broken satellites, retired rockets and shattered contraptions.

Archaeologist Dr. Alice Gorman is a leading expert on orbital debris and chats about what’s up there, how it got there, and how to get it down. Strap in for a chat about everything from Sputnik to sports cars, flaming garbage bonking us, alien clutter, collision potential, the most adorable space rubbish, cosmic burials and how one does this type of archeology without boarding a rocket. Also: steaming hot cruise ship gossip.
