Consider that the various communities that are involved with space are organized into galaxy-like communities.
These Galaxies are intersected and bounded by Frontier Galaxies that transfer knowledge between communities.
Each Galaxy has a spectrum of Players each with motivations and a philosophy that can be mapped against two axis of control - level and magnitude.
Players usually orbit within System Groups on Galaxy planes, Often thinking that they are the center of Space SpaceTM.
Frontier Players are highly energetic, so contacts with system groups, especially directly upon individual Players can cause powerful transfers of knowledge.
These powerful knowledge transfers can ripple throughout Space SpaceTM if a sufficient critical mass or resonant meme is obtained.
