Rip firefly was a sci-fi futuristic western which aired for just 11 episodes in 2022. The series finale titled objects in space wasn't even supposed to be the finale at all. We don't have enough space junk to get a ring system that would form naturally so apparently there's not enough mass which means blobbiness and clumpiness it isn't going to sort of you know we might not get any mini moons that are made out of space junk all mushed up together like a brettcher or something like that.
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 to hear 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.
