"To maximize safety for all satellites in space, SpaceX will be making Stargaze conjunction data available to all operators, free of charge, via its space-traffic management platform."

Many people don't still realize it, but the problem of low orbit debris is only getting worse. So, this is a really nice gesture. Thank you, Elon Musk.

You're free to start your own space exploration company.

Er, no, you're not. That's the big problem with monopolies that execute regulatory capture.

Sure you are. SpaceX did exactly this and went against the well-connected monopoly at the time (ULA, a consortium of defense contractors) and beat it.

Nobody said it would be easy though.
