Companies are planning to build space critical infrastructure. Can space policy keep up?
Building space policy is hard enough. It’s harder when trying to make a future-focused policy decision based on abstract concepts. That’s really the problem with the space critical infrastructure conversation, isn’t it? When we talk about space services, we look at what we know, which is low Earth orbit (LEO), and services provided from LEO assets to Earth. We talk considerably less about cislunar travel or interplanetary travel even though there are plans for both in the less than distant future. The difference is that one is real today and one is abstract.

Municipal Chaos: How Chaos Theory Explains Cyberattacks Against Smart City Architectures
When a linear act leads to non-linear results, it’s chaos. That’s not a figure of speech. Non-linear behaviors that result from an otherwise linear and deterministic system underpin chaos theory, a fascinating branch of mathematics and life sciences that results in amazing insights into our world. It shows how tiny actions in an otherwise linear system can cause dramatic effects and even outcomes that we cannot otherwise predict.

Few of those familiar with the space economy would doubt how increasingly critical it is to our life on terra firma.
