I have real issues with the current economic system not accounting for external cost of pollution. It’s clear that lots of satellite has a cost in that it’s disturbing astronomers work. For satellite providers there is no cost for disturbing observations.
Other examples of not accounting external cost:
There is no cost of fishing all the fish in the ocean.
There is no cost of polluting the oceans.
There is no cost of cutting down rain forest
Space junk something that will eventually have a cost
There is an environmental flaw of external cost in the current capitalism economic system which we cannot afford to ignore.
Thus I argue in current capitalism system we do not pay for pollution it’s “free” but there is a real cost for others. Thus the system is fundamentally flawed and needs to be fixed! Ops engineer comment.
