New article on too many satellites and ways that we SHOULD be allocating orbits (by Gregory Radisic with me as second author) https://theconversation.com/too-many-satellites-earths-orbit-is-on-track-for-a-catastrophe-but-we-can-stop-it-275430

Been up for about 30 minutes and I already got a media inquiry. Nice.

The Conversation

Too many satellites? Earth’s orbit is on track for a catastrophe – but we can stop it

Cultural, spiritual, and most environmental impacts aren’t taken into account when launching thousands of satellites.

Now in published in Portuguese too! https://theconversation.com/orbita-da-terra-pode-virar-palco-de-uma-catastrofe-com-o-lancamento-de-milhoes-de-satelites-276368

The Conversation

Órbita da Terra pode virar palco de uma catástrofe com o lançamento de milhões de satélites

Os impactos culturais, espirituais e, principalmente, ambientais não são levados em consideração nos projetos de lançamento de milhares de satélites.

@sundogplanets Just like we license and allocate radio frequencies for media broadcasting, mobile phone communications and data transmission. The corporations have adopted a Terre Nullius principle to outer space - but in fact we all own it together and any action within it has consequences for us all.
