This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: RNagraj DRamdeen JGabor space debris, As space waste grows, so does the risk of collisions. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space waste accumulates in orbit for decades., The destruction of the Chinese anti-satellite missile accounts for more than a quarter of all catalogued objects in orbit therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Where there is civilization, there is an increased need for technology and surveillance., As space waste grows, so does the risk of collisions. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space waste is not biodegradable. It stays in orbit for decades before it falls to earth and burns up., Space waste cannot be swept up or disposed of. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space waste is not biodegradable. It stays in orbit for decades before it falls to earth and burns up., One collision between debris in orbit can propagate into several more collisions. therefore (ArgScheme: conditional syllogism) Debris in space pose a hazard to satellites and render the orbit useless., Space waste cannot be swept up or disposed of. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space waste accumulates in orbit for decades., Some countries may be tempted to let other countries bear the costs while they reap the benefits therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space is a public common ground and humanity needs to value it., The collision of an American and Russian military satellite has just added thousands of more pieces of debris. therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) The earth's orbit has become crowded with unnecessary debris., The destruction of the Chinese anti-satellite missile accounts for more than a quarter of all catalogued objects in orbit therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) The earth's orbit has become crowded with unnecessary debris., Collisions in outer space would render the orbit useless. therefore (ArgScheme: conditional syllogism) Debris in space pose a hazard to satellites and render the orbit useless., Race car drivers buy insurance to cover risks of extra costs. therefore (ArgScheme: perfect analogy) Satellite launchers should be obliged to buy insurance to cover risks of extra costs before they venture into space., Some countries may be tempted to let other countries bear the costs while they reap the benefits therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Do not let political disagreements stop plans for a safer orbit for satellites., Out of 18,000 tracked objects in Earth's orbit, only 900 are satellites. therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) The earth's orbit has become crowded with unnecessary debris., The destruction of the Chinese anti-satellite missile accounts for more than a quarter of all catalogued objects in orbit therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The collision of an American and Russian military satellite has just added thousands of more pieces of debris., Race car drivers buy insurance to cover risks of extra costs. therefore (ArgScheme: perfect analogy) With regards to the insurance scheme, the situation is the same for race car divers and satellite launchers.
