Beyond Frontier

[Humabout]

Nice story!  I'd love to see more that exemplifies the feel you are going for.  It is one of isolation, desperation, and suspense?  Or more one of wonder, adventure, and exploration?  A realistic approach can easily encompass both.

I am most interested in how you approach this.

Who claims an asteroid. Is there an international registry body? How is the land rush handled?; stake a claim and have at it with fights over juicy asteroids or "abandoned" ones; countries claim asteroids and divvy them up, or the UN has a body to handle it.

How to deal with satellite pollution- the more communications satellites we shoot up the greater the chance they start hitting each other and creating even more space junk. How did they solve that problem? Better orbital degrading? But what about the problem of just simply too many satellites in orbit... and then an asteroid knocks one out of its orbital slot...

This is an interesting thought exercise you have here, Nomadic.
