Moriba Jah, Program Lead of Strauss’ Space Security, Safety, and Sustainability program, released an op-ed on CNN titled “Why I’m a space environmentalist — and why you should be, too.”

“As an astrodynamicist, who studies the motion of natural and human-made bodies in space, I knew space was a neglected ecosystem that needed to be protected. If this next frontier is full of junk, we won’t be able to fully explore or tap into the innovations that space can provide. That will jeopardize our ability to reliably know more about ourselves and our planet — knowledge that stems uniquely from space-based data.”
