Bertrum Russel made this arguement:
"Imagine there is a china teapot in orbit around the sun.
We can not prove it exist because it is to small to be detected by our telescopes, however, this does not prove it does not exist."
Well, that is a classic arguement about God. We can not prove that he exist, but we can not prove he does not exist.
That is where the "Teapot in Space" started.

Actually, you could say that there is. Everything that exists on this planet is made up of the exact same physical matter as the rest of the whole Cosmos, so yep, there are plenty of teapots up there - just not assembled is all LOL.

positioned a teapot (or something - something in any respect) aboard a spacecraft and supply it sufficient velocity to flee Earth's orbit, approximately 25,000 mph. Now launch the teapot. it quite is now in orbit around the solar. common as that!

The "teapot" in space argument is one that is used to demonstrate that god does not exist.
This question doesn't belong here but in the R&S section.

I think this is what you're looking for:
Go to the website http://www.astrosurf.com/lorenzi/images/teapot.htm
and you will see an image described as follows:
"The Constellation of Sagittarius with its typical teapot shape, enhanced thanks to the use of a diffuser filter for the shorter exposure used in this stack."

The space around the Earth is already full of junk.
It wouldn't surprise me!

There might, but it'd be pretty useless to any passing alien since "in space, no one can hear you steam".

yes
the fact that you couldnt find it or prove its existence doesnt mean it doesnt exist... big talk and no evidence
no
there couldnt be since you cant prove it to be there yet.

No, but I think there is a pot of petunias.
