Hey - this is an interesting post and good to see you posting to PH.
I can't help thinking that we are often short-sighted and a tad selfish in our pursuits. Often we do what we need right now and do not consider the damage we are potentially doing for generations to come. I wonder if one day our future generations will look back at us and think - what a useless selfish generation.
Hopefully, we can start acting a bit more responsibility and not just create so much junk in space that it becomes difficult for future generations to benefit from near orbit and we could spend a bit more money and dispose of things after we have finished. What do you think?
Great post - have a glass of !WINE on me.
