Are posts/communities about aerospace in general acceptable, or is it restricted to just aviation?

Example topics: rocketry, spacecraft, drones…

    Not an admin/mod but rocketry, spacecraft and especially drones are still aviation. If it flies, it should be here in my opinion.

    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?
