This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: ajeya_clifton_anna_danny_space debris, what is true for the two satellites and space junk instances is true for all space junk therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) Space junk is dangerous to future generations, Space junk is dangerous to future generations therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space must be cleaned to remain useful, Space powers can use all sorts of levers to bring such recalcitrants around, from access to technology to moral pressure defeats Some countries may be tempted to let everyone else bear the costs of precaution while they reap the benefits, Collision of an American satellite and a defunct Russian military satellite constitute over a thousan pieces of debris therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) Space junk is dangerous to future generations, The European Space Agency will establish standards to work more closely with America and encourage more space agencies to share more information supports If space is not cleaned, then it can be rendered useless for generations due to increasing dependece on communications, broadcasting and surveillance, Free riders can still refuse and the resulting stink does not block an agreement altogther defeats Space powers can use all sorts of levers to bring such recalcitrants around, from access to technology to moral pressure, Some countries may be tempted to let everyone else bear the costs of precaution while they reap the benefits defeats Countries need to pool in money, Destruction of Fengyun-1C in an anti-satellite missile test in 2007 constitute 25% of known objects in Earth's lower orbit therefore (ArgScheme: complete induction) Space junk is dangerous to future generations, If such a systems need to be created, then countries need to pool information from their separate ground sensors. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Countries need to pool in money, An international civil satellite-awareness system that would provide everyone with the information they need to operate safely therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Countries need to pool in money, If space is not cleaned, then it can be rendered useless for generations due to increasing dependece on communications, broadcasting and surveillance therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space must be cleaned to remain useful, This suggestion is too modest defeats The European Space Agency will establish standards to work more closely with America and encourage more space agencies to share more information, An international civil satellite-awareness system that would provide everyone with the information they need to operate safely supports This suggestion is too modest
