Moving #AI #DataCenters to #space is high-altitude #greenwashing. We just filed comments urging the #FCC to reject Cowboy Space’s 20,000-satellite "Stampede" constellation. From stratospheric metallic pollution to escalating collision risks and threats to astronomy, the hazards of orbital computing are severe. The FCC must require a full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

This just-accepted proceedings paper from last year's Oxford XIII/IAU Symposium 399 conference digs into a topic I have been thinking about for years: who really has the right to do exactly what in outer space, and what is the basis for any such 'right'?
What I found in researching it is that what one culture sees as benign might be deeply offensive to another, and that humans continue to ignore the lessons of #history (often flagrantly and deliberately).

The story of humanity in space is still being written, but the ink is drying fast.
CSE co-founders John Barentine and Aparna Venkatesan have published a new call to action in Frontiers in Space Technologies. They argue that we must look beyond outdated treaties to secure a just and sustainable future.
We have the agency to decide what happens next. Let’s build a future by design, not by default.

Is the Outer Space Treaty becoming a "League of Nations" for the cosmos?
In a new Opinion piece for Frontiers, we argue that existing space governance isn't fit for the era of private satellite megaconstellations. To protect our shared heritage, we need a shift toward "Space Environmentalism."
We still have the chance to build a future by design rather than by default—if we act before these norms are set in stone.

Blue Origin is seeking U.S. Federal Communications Commission approval to operate a 51,600-satellite "orbital data center" network. Today, the Center for Space Environmentalism officially filed our opposition to its application.
We're demanding a rigorous environmental review to assess collision risks and the severe threat to our shared night sky before any approval is granted. Read our comment in full: https://www.spaceenvironmentalism.org/actions/public-statements-and-comments/blue-origin-comment-april-2026
