“Multiple tragedies of the commons” — satellite mega-constellations and the limits of Earth’s atmosphere
…there is little recognition that Earth’s orbit is a finite resource, the space and Earth environments are connected, and the actions of one actor can affect everyone. Until that changes, we risk multiple tragedies of the commons in space. From Scientific ReportsPublished 20 May 2021 Boley, A.C., Byers, M. Satellite mega-constellations create risks in LowContinue reading ““Multiple tragedies of the commons” — satellite mega-constellations and the limits of Earth’s atmosphere”
