This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: 3.1.b slkdf, If the orbits around earth are valuable and space needs to value it and the risk of collisions with satellites is increasing, then humanity needs to stop so many satellites from flying blind therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Humanity needs to stop so many satellites from flying blind, If the past few years have witnessed huge growth in the number of satellites and smashed bits of space equipment orbit along with items dropped by astronauts, then earth's orbit is getting crowded. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Earth's orbit is getting crowded., The past few years have witnessed huge growth in the number of satellites. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Earth's orbit is getting crowded., The world increasingly depends on satellites for communications, broadcasting and surveillance. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space junk is dangerous, Anything larger than a fleck of paint poses a hazard to the useful working satellites that surround the Earth. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space junk is dangerous, If Earth's orbit is getting crowded, space junk is dangerous, and one NASA scientist pointed out that debris from one collision could go on to create a second, which would create still more debris and more collisions, and so on then the risk of collisions with satellites is increasing. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The risk of collisions with satellites is increasing., Humanity needs to stop so many satellites from flying blind therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) An international civil satellite-awareness system that would provide everyone from small governments to business with the information they need to operate safely is needed., If free riders refuse, it is important that the resulting stink does not block an agreement altogether Defeats Some many be tempted to let everyone else bear the costs of precaution while they reap the benefits, Earth's orbit is getting crowded. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The risk of collisions with satellites is increasing., If anything larger than a fleck of paint poses a hazard to the useful working satellites that surround the Earth, the world increasingly depends for communications, broadcasting and surveillance, and the space waste will stay in orbit for decades, or even centuries, before it eventually falls to earth and burns up, then space junk is dangerous therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space junk is dangerous, Space waste will stay in orbit for decades, or even centuries, before it eventually falls to earth and burns up. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Space junk is dangerous, Space junk is dangerous therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The risk of collisions with satellites is increasing., If humanity needs to stop so many satellites from flying blind, then an international civil satellite-awareness system that would provide everyone fromsmall governments to business with the information they need to operate safely is needed. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) An international civil satellite-awareness system that would provide everyone from small governments to business with the information they need to operate safely is needed., Some many be tempted to let everyone else bear the costs of precaution while they reap the benefits Defeats If humanity needs to stop so many satellites from flying blind, then an international civil satellite-awareness system that would provide everyone fromsmall governments to business with the information they need to operate safely is needed., The orbits around earth are valuable and humanity needs to value it. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Humanity needs to stop so many satellites from flying blind, In the 1970s one NASA scientist pointed out that debris from one collision could go on to create a second, which would create still more debris and more collisions, and so on. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) The risk of collisions with satellites is increasing., Smashed bits of space equipment orbit along with items dropped by astronauts therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Earth's orbit is getting crowded., The risk of collisions with satellites is increasing. therefore (ArgScheme: modus ponens) Humanity needs to stop so many satellites from flying blind
