“New markets and new technologies are enabling the creation of a new class of space advocates.” Connell proposed three cultural shifts that are needed: 1) from localized space constituents to local space consumers, 2) the rise of proactive citizen space “hives”, and 3) the crisis factor – from civil space as a luxury, to space assets as a necessity in global warming mitigation. This is a must read with major implications for entrepreneurial space.
