      <image:title>Why - Orbits - A New Tragedy Of The Commons</image:title>
      <image:caption>A simple glance at history tells the story: humans tend to defer proper stewardship of that which belongs to everybody. Our predecessors fell victim to this natural tendency long before current living generations inherited the earth. Today’s world is more connected and capable than ever before. An immense opportunity now presents itself for current generations to take action against this natural course. As responsible stewards of a vital and newly-tapped natural resource (earth’s orbital environment), our goal is to be remembered favorably in the eyes of future generations. If under our watch we do not make this leap, we will join so many who have come before us and for whose actions the world continues to pay.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Donald J. Kessler - Donald J. Kessler, NASA (Ret.)</image:title>
      <image:caption>Donald J. Kessler is a pioneer of orbital debris science. For over 60 years, his work has defined and advanced the field - to protect earth’s orbits for all future history. Kessler Aerospace was founded in recognition that stewardship of resources begins with stewardship of knowledge. In order to protect earth’s threatened orbital environments for future generations, we humbly stand on the shoulders of giants such as Donald J. Kessler. In his celebrated career, Mr. Kessler founded NASA’s orbital debris program by first establishing the need and promoting awareness. His relentless dedication to the field produced over 100 technical articles, major reports, model testing experiments, data analyses, classes, workshops, symposia, and techniques to control orbital debris. Through our name, we respectfully honor his accomplishments and the improved future which they enable.</image:caption>
