    Additionally our entire modern civilization would have basically no trace left after a couple hundred years, estimated.

    LAGEOS-1 will remain in orbit for estimated 8 million years, a civillization between now in 8 million years might discover that satellite when they reach the space age, or if they don’t, it’ll crash back down and they’ll think its alien lol

    If a civilization existed before human civilization as we know it, they never reached the space age since we never found anything just orbiting in space other than our stuff. If the next era of civilization ever reached the space age they might discover LAGEOS-1 and know about the existence of our era of civilizations. Also remnants of the moon landing can be seen.
