Is 'Spacejunk' the future of archaeology?

The European tradition of the “grand tour,” particularly active in the 18th century, saw young travelers, primarily male and usually wealthy, heading out across the continent along a well-worn circuit of historic sites. Their favored destinations included architectural wonders, such as the Pantheon in Rome and the Parthenon in Athens, and the tours often had a deliberate emphasis on the lost grandeur of antiquity.
The grand tour of the future, however, according to historian of astronomy Randall C. Brooks and conservationist Robert Barclay, might take place off the Earth entirely, involving a tour of derelict satellites and abandoned spacecraft, those ruined cathedrals of the sky.
In their paper called “In Situ Preservation of Historic Spacecraft,” collected in the massive 2009 Handbook of Space Engineering, Archaeology, and Heritage, they specifically use the analogy of the grand tour to describe this vision of future tourists planning “visits to preserved space vehicles.”
