Space: The Final Frontier of Profit

As crises deepen across Earth, some claim that humanity’s salvation lies in the colonization of new territories in space.

But this multiplanetary narrative is an illusion—a fantasy that obscures a far more immediate reality: an industry that is already extending its grip on Earth’s orbit, deploying thousands of satellites in the name of permanent, instantaneous global connectivity.

This unprecedented expansion of space activity is driving a surge in rocket launches and launch sites, reshaping entire regions, destabilizing ecosystems, and threatening the future of local communities.

From Texas to the Swedish Arctic, voices are rising against this new race for profit, the pollution it leaves in its wake, and the paradox of a system that, in the name of a hypothetical Planet B, is jeopardizing the only habitable world we have ever known.
