Cool to see our piece up on the @HSNatSci twitter - read the Essay @jordanbimm and I wrote that grapples with what looking at the capitalist impulse to buy-and-sell things that have been to space 🚀
Replying to @HSNatSci
This paper links beautifully with @jordanbimm and Eleanor S. Armstrong's essay on Space Auctions. Bimm and Armstrong look at the growing trend of auctioning both memorabilia and official documentation from space programs and ask, is there a problem with this trend?
