Space is busier than ever before.

In the latest edition of the global space race, private actors have joined the game. But space as the next frontier for businesses comes at a price. As debris in orbit continues to increase and more fossil-fuel-powered rockets are sending celebrities into space, what will happen to our ecosystems on Earth? Should the galaxy really only be in the hands of a few, and if not, what happens if everyone can join in?

In this deep-diving episode of Open Hardware Talks, we go beyond Earth's atmosphere to explore how open source technologies are shaping the space of tomorrow. We're joined by Eleftherios Kosmas from Libre Space Foundation, an Athens-based organisation developing and sharing open source space technology, alongside Pen-Yuan Hsing, who researches and advises on Open Science and Citizen Science, and Dr. Elena Cirkovic, a researcher at the Department of Law at Aarhus University, Denmark, who's exploring the legal side of space usage, maintenance and sustainability.
