Re: Tragedy of the celestial commons
Dear Delyse, Sorry no academic articles immediately spring to mind, but your query reminded me of the brilliant (kids) movie Wall-e. Wall-e has a terrific scene where the spaceship blasts through the earth's outer atmosphere through a virtual junkyard of old satellites. cheers, Syma >>(*>>>(*>>>(*> Syma A.
