Consider how idiotic it would be to have separate government-administrations for aircraft & spacecraft .. who fly through airspace on the way up, and down!
The correct divisions for transport should be something sorta-like:
- Sky, space, mil
- Sky, space, civilian, research
- Sky, space, civilian, commercial
- Sky, space, civilian, hobby
- Sky, air, mil
- Sky, air, civilian, research
- Sky, air, commercial, high altitude ( requiring a radar-altimeter )
- Sky, air, commercial, below that
- Sky, air, general aviation
- Sky, air, sailplanes
- Sky, air, powered 'chutes, etc
- Sky, air, unpowered 'chutes
- Waters, mil
- Waters, civilian, research
- Waters, powered
- Waters, sail
- Waters, human-powered
- Land, mil
- Land, Powered
- Land, e-assist
- Land, human-powered
...or something like that.
( the different powerplants should have their own categories of regulations, but under the same umbrella regime, sort-of a fractal-system of legislation, for clarity, like programming-modules, see? Limit scope to what that module covers. )
It is best to have the right granularity: "Aviation" is FAR too coarse a granularity.
I want AviationGovt as a separate category, so it is not cluttering-up other views, AND so it is easily-findable, see?
Same with GeneralAviation, or RegionalAviation ( which includes many issues that the big aerodromes don't have, like unpaved strips, or weird weather-conditions among remote places, or whatever, and oft have older aircraft, too )...
on LemmyFly.org I'd think it sanest to have a
Space
community, possibly separate ones for
SpaceLaunches
SpaceViewing ( people usually do more viewing than flying, right?
Astronomy is a "gateway drug" for some cubesat freaks : )
Space-Policy ( legal, international, politics, etc )
THESE ARE JUST IDEAS so dice 'em up however you want, eh?
