Concerning the mentioned research team, it is currently struggling to find funding to further its work in the field of the economics of space sustainability especially to finance the recruitment of young post-docs.  

Although the scope of this work is crucial to raise awareness of the economic cost of unsustainable orbital management and to propose solutions, the selection procedures of TradSci as well as its current focus unfortunately suggest that this project has little chance of being supported in France. 
As a reminder, as C4H discovered in the context of a rescript procedure with the French tax authorities, Space and Earth orbits are not considered as an environment to be protected. In some ivory towers, talking about the management of Earth orbits as Commons is a laughing matter. 

We do not accept it.

Our "DeSci" goal for this Beta Round is to try to show that community engagement can provide an answer where TradSci has failed.

(While we are aligned with this team and have regular exchanges, we have no official ties to it or with the [CRESE](https://crese.univ-fcomte.fr/en) and do not act on their behalf. Furthermore, although we do not share the solution that they put forward  (a global tax to finance the management of orbits), we think it is very important that this hypothesis be explored).
