Yes. We need orbit space tax which profits are used to resolve issues caused.

[elisharobinson]

NO. A tax is a bad way to regulate any system in the long run. Ideally i would like all telescopes be shifted to outer space. if spacex or its competitor created a orbital satellite network and charged a monthly / yearly fee to get a feed of data from the cost / dollar would far exceed anything available today. tax going to govt is a place for inovation to die.

Who will get the tax money?

[appendix-rock]

The US, obviously.

[GJim]

I think you will find satellites don't just fly over the USA.

[jart]

I imagine it depends more on how far their space guns can reach.

Split across all countries the satellite flies over, proportional to the amount of time spent over each country

Good luck
