Historian of astronomy Randall C. Brooks and conservationist Robert Barclay pose this futuristic thought experiment in their paper, "In Situ Preservation of Historic Spacecraft," published as part of the 2009 Handbook of Space Engineering, Archaeology, and Heritage ​and recently re-surfaced by The Atlantic.​ They posit that dead spacecraft and other "junk" could become traps for the curious space tourist. One our way to Mars or on holiday to Enceladus, we could make pit stops to tour the empty International Space Station or visit graveyard orbits like they're museum exhibits.
