Description
This panel considers the politics of space governance and commercial activities, space sustainability and environmentalism, and new approaches to international space law. These pressing present-day issues will have lasting consequences into the future, and new approaches to dealing with them have the potential to set all manner of new precedents for the generations to come in astropolitical governance as existing frameworks for space activities are rather broad, aspirational, and wide open to interpretation as unsettling parallels from terrestrial environmental politics appear to be mirrored in outer space.
