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.

Actually no. I don't think there's a whole lot of new commercial exploitation of space beyond existing LEO/GEO stuff. I'm thinking of these as edge cases to help work out principles of regular economics. See tweets earlier in evening on postcapitalism/blockchains tuff
