Shooting stars are trash; But our wishes can come true! | Sara Alão | TEDxCranfield University

Описание: In this insightful TEDx talk, we challenge the romantic notion of shooting stars, revealing that what we often see as magical is frequently just space debris. As the space industry grows, focus shifts from the well-discussed topic of orbital clutter to the pressing non-discussed issue of emissions from rockets and satellites. Learn about the innovative measures and emerging technologies that promise a more sustainable approach to space exploration. Join us in transforming our celestial aspirations from mere wishes into tangible actions for a cleaner, responsible space environment.
