Date 2026-03-03 · publication Role Articulation Register (kind of text) Nonfiction Scope and limits Addresses the SpaceX application, though it says its considerations have general validity. The AAS petition on the same application was not retrievable (aas.org refused). It was earliest located in the pack; the cross-family check’s bounded search found a 2025 Perspective on carbon-neutral data centres in space, attested from 25 November 2025, that states the debris element of the proposition and is now earliest located (a correction recorded on the collection page).
