I want to express my support for the ‘Space governance research centre’ idea. I’ve published a little on Space Policy/Governance and had some very positive feedback from professionals working within the field (e.g. within ESA, Raytheon, companies engaged in EO and so on) supporting the need for proactive policymaking and governance of space activities.
It seems like a natural area for a research centre/think tank/policy lab aimed at policy research and implementation algined with principles of longtermism & EA. I would also argue that the current context (right before space policy/governance is really picked up—if indeed that’s what will happen) is exactly the right moment to start something like this… an org could have an outsized impact by taking advantage of a relatively neglected environment and shaping the field from the ground up.
Would love to talk to you about this—if you’re keen then feel free to reach out to me at j.b.p.davies@uu.nl
