insure probes against failure given investment in *ground* assets.
For example, if Juno failed suddenly, all terrestrial Juno-specific resources would be a deadweight loss.
Doesn't have to be *in* the new world. Just needs a completed loop. Like earth economics is used to rent transponders on satellites.
Need 2 parties in a contract about an asset in space, but the parties don't need to be in space where the asset is.
