Earlier today, a piece of #OrbitalDebris or #SpaceJunk came within a quarter mile of the International Space Station. The ISS was able to move out of the path, but our use of orbital space is becoming more congested. Orbital space is a shared resource - a global #commons. I wrote about how Ostrom's principles for commons governance might apply to space resources here:

' I think we are going to lose the ability to use certain orbits because the carrying capacity is going to get saturated by objects and junk....

And I also predict that we will see a loss of human life by (1) school-bus sized objects ... surviving reentry and hitting a populated area, or (2) ... civil and commercial astronauts basically having their vehicle getting scwhacked by an unpredicted piece of junk. '
