Prof. Sam LawlerTomorrow I've got an interview with the Financial Times and then the Wall Street Journal to talk about space junk and satellite pollution. So I guess maybe people with money are starting to notice that the commercial space race is a really really bad idea?
Juan Per¢ent,🇲🇽 🍉,🇻🇪@sundogplanets I think leaving space to...space agencies, would be best?
Leaving essential things to markets, natural monopolies, is a bad idea in general. States loose important competences shifting power to private actors and agendas, competition can lead to wastefulness compared to a sound cooperation. Managing a Commons has challenges, but better than whatever the Musk is up to.
