Hmm... actual question: for pure science exploration missions, does 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.
