Since the beginning of humankind, we have all gazed at the same starry sky.
Now
A few super-rich people alone decide what it looks like.
A single billionaire today launches more satellites into space than all the spacefaring nations combined.
History together – faster than states and international institutions can react
They can. Nobody has democratically legitimized him to do so.
PETITION TO UNESCO
When individuals decide on the legacy of all humanity
The night sky has never belonged to any one government, corporation, or individual. For millennia, it has connected people across all boundaries.
That's exactly what's changing right now. Tens of thousands of private satellites, controlled by a few super-rich individuals, are already shaping how we view the sky.
Who decides on a common good that belongs to all people — and who was never asked about it?
