Wonder how mature are most of these terrestrial solutions to be used in space for operational solutions.

Space now has 10,000+ inactive satellites it seems and routine debris threats are facing active satellites.

Wonder if this situation will head that same way climate change related conversations are with global policymakers fiddling around but not really achieving anything substantial.

Interesting to see commercial companies trying to both track and clean up debris. However, can they really sustain without governments acting as customers and also coming to consensus on any cleanup/debris laws.

Interesting list of wide range of satellite platforms.

Is the industry witnessing a middle ground between between traditional space and NewSpace in terms of performance, price point and reliability?

The problem is how do you do that when 20 companies are flying the same type of satellites and are fighting for customers with almost similar capabilities. If it was a question of science or governmental cooperation, such agreements may be easier.
