That's the point: it looks like space is the new "Far West"... Can't we learn from history and - for once - try to talk and agree on common rules and managemen

  The resource needs to have real value before serious regulations effort is made . Potential value is never enough, for example there is no regulations for asteroid mining today, it would be waste of time to do it now, unless we could actually do it . Satellites before starlink OneWeb were much lesser problem in terms of resources utilization . Starlink growth is unprecedeted in part because there is little regulations stopping them , so the current model has its advantages

    I agree: before now and the "cheap" satellites launch era, there were no need for regulation. But now the situation has changed so maybe it's time to slow down a bit and take the time to think ? Moreover, there's more and more incidents in space, and it will only grow in the near future In a way, maybe the "request for comments" should be lead by a worldwide org (ONU based) and not only a US one ?
