This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 3.G James Freeman et al, Space waste is not biodegradable. You cannot sweep it up. Instead, it will stay in orbit for decades, or even centuries, before it eventually falls to earth and burns up. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The space industry needs to clean up its act, Space junk is dangerous. Anything larger than a fleck of paint poses a hazard to the useful working satellites that surround the Earth, and on which the world increasingly depends for communications, broadcasting, and surveillance. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The space industry needs to clean up its act, An entire orbit for satelites would be rendered useless for generations therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The space industry needs to clean up its act, If orbit is open to anyone with a launch-rocket handy, some countries may be tempted to let everyone else bear the cost of precaution while they reap the benefits therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Some countries may be tempted to let everyone else bear the cost of precaution while they reap the benefits, If the amount of satellite collisions increases, then an entire orbit for satellites would be rendered useless for generations therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) An entire orbit for satelites would be rendered useless for generations, If space is a public common and humanity needs to value it, space junk is dangerous, space waste is not biodegradable and eventually an entire orbit for satellites would be rendered useless for generations, then the space industry needs to clean up its act therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The space industry needs to clean up its act, If the amount of space debris inreases, then the amount of satellite collisions increases therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) The amount of satellite collisions increases, If the space industry needs to clean up its act, an international civil satellite-awareness system should be formed that would provide everyone from small governments to business with the information they need to operate safely therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) An international civil satellite-awareness system should be formed that would provide everyone from small governments to business with the information they need to operate safely, The space industry needs to clean up its act therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) An international civil satellite-awareness system should be formed that would provide everyone from small governments to business with the information they need to operate safely, Orbit is open to anyone with a launch-rocket handy therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Some countries may be tempted to let everyone else bear the cost of precaution while they reap the benefits, Some countries may be tempted to let everyone else bear the cost of precaution while they reap the benefits contradicts If the space industry needs to clean up its act, an international civil satellite-awareness system should be formed that would provide everyone from small governments to business with the information they need to operate safely, Space is a public common and humanity needs to value it therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The space industry needs to clean up its act, Satellites are colliding with other satellites and debris therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) The amount of space debris is increasing, If a satellite collides with another satellite or space debris, then the amount of space debris increases therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) The amount of space debris is increasing, The amount of satellite collisions increases therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) An entire orbit for satelites would be rendered useless for generations, The amount of space debris is increasing therefore (Argscheme: modus ponens) The amount of satellite collisions increases
