Pushback and Challenges

Chapter 11 in The Cosmos Economy, 2021, pp 97-102 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Not everyone is in favor of creating a new settled commercial space economy. There are those who actively resist this development for economic, social, or political reasons. Competitive industries will resist because space will offer a new source of competition for their products. Political opposition will likely come because new outposts and settlements in space may challenge the socio-political status quo. Those with social rank and privilege will resist the development of space because their social standing may be devalued as new communities and social experiments emerge on the space frontier. Skittish investors may balk at funding space start-ups because of the high risk and uncertain return.
