Moriba Jah: The world's first crowdsourced space traffic monitoring system

The video discusses the challenges of tracking space debris, which poses risks to essential services. It highlights the accumulation of debris due to collisions and lack of return mechanisms for satellites. The concept of space highways is introduced, emphasizing the absence of traffic rules. The need for a global space traffic map is proposed, leading to the development of Astrograph, a crowdsourced monitoring system. The video concludes with the importance of reconciling data inconsistencies to ensure space safety and sustainability.
