- danpalmer 6y agoYeah that's true. In this case I think it's the pragmatic approach to not stifle the space industry when there's so much we could be doing (and aren't) elsewhere, but we do definitely have to sort this problem before it becomes a big one. Maybe governments legislating a sliding scale of regulation or cap here would be a good idea? Like, nothing to do now, but as the industry or any one company grows in this way, regulation or emissions caps grow in that way.
