Space Pollution


The race for space tourism has opened opportunities, but created cosmic environmental issues as well. As companies have been granted licenses for space tourism, so increases the probability of pollution in the cosmos.

Individuals not only seek to set up colonies in space, creating pollution and disturbing the natural balance of the universe, some seek to engage in exploration that sounds environmentally risky. After witnessing the environmental abuse earth has taken at modern mankind's hand, it would be a disgrace if the same transpired in space. We've already messed up earth, do we really need to mess up space as well. Rules need to be drafted.
