The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).
Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”
There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.
Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.

Planetary Quarantine is a term in the modern-day that is used by people who want to make the colonization of other celestial bodies as slow and excruciating as possible.
It can be used in the future however as a way of stopping diseases or other such things from exiting the planet and spreading to other ones.
It is also used by some people on Earth as something we should do to Earth and Humanity in general, saying things like "We should fix our own planet first" and another such nativity. These people typically don't realize that Earth is doomed and that humanity, in the long run, can only survive in the Stars.
"Bro fuck Billionaires!! There should be a Planetary Quarantine on Earth, man! Humans suck!"
