By Michelle Hanlon –      Space is truly a great unknown – especially from a legal standpoint. The Outer Space Treaty regime has served us well for the past sixty years, but we are now contemplating all sorts of new activities in a domain once solely the realm of superpower nations. The treaties reveal more gaps than solutions. We know the formation of law is a time-consuming and at times frustratingly persnickety process. So how can we promote the responsible and sustainable use of space? One way is to articulate ethical norms that will guide activity and underpin the gra ..read more

The Feminist theory of International Relations is relevant to space law and ethics because of the strategic maneuvers that are currently taking place in outer space ..read more

By Heath Hoeffner – February 2024 As humanity looks to the stars, a fundamental question arises: where does Earth’s jurisdiction end, and outer space truly begin? The conceptual line that demarcates this boundary has profound significance for legal, economic, scientific, and strategic considerations. When discussing the delimitation or demarcation of outer space it won’t be long before the Karman Line is brought up. The Karman Line, positioned 100 kilometers above Earth’s surface, is a conceptual demarcation between our atmosphere and outer space. Coined after physicist Theodore von Kármán, it ..read more

By Alexandra Dolce – February 2024 On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks said “no”! She refused to give her seat to a white passenger and move to the back of the bus in segregated Montgomery, Alabama. As a result of her resistance, the Civil Rights movement of the United States was born, and based on that movement, legislation was drafted that opened up a new but well-deserved world for primarily African Americans and other marginalized groups in the United States. Currently as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are repetitively being dismantled by a status quo that refuses to see th ..read more

By Anne-Sophie Martin – January 15, 2024 The next chapter of space exploration involves the return of humans to the Moon and beyond. This implies understanding humanity’s place in outer space and the need for exploration to be inclusive and beneficial to all. It also raises the question of the place of indigenous peoples in space exploration, given the impacts that new space activities have on sky observations and on the Moon. Indeed, the Moon plays an important role in indigenous culture, identity and daily life. Each aspect of the Moon, whether in terms of its phase, position and appearance ..read more

By Cody Knipfer – In the half-century since the lunar Apollo Program, subsequent generations of space scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers have eagerly awaited a return now promised by NASA’s Artemis Program. As humanity’s second-ever “personal” journey to the lunar surface, Artemis will have profound and global cultural and social impacts. Most notably, it will represent the first practical implementation of a new, dynamic “era” in global space governance. Certainly, we hope Artemis’ successes will be a source of inspiration in an increasingly turbulent world; a cause of ref ..read more

By Luke Harrison – The Moon is a vast, unexplored area of our solar system, but the Artemis missions would provide humanity with deeper knowledge of our nearby barren Moon and our solar system. The variety of useful information that could be learned about the deserted Moon could possibly be about ancient volcanoes on its harsh lunar surface formed billions of years ago. We could potentially discover and extract more advanced materials and gain a better understanding of our diverse Earth. Another important aspect is that this would mark humanity’s next significant step towards the distant, ra ..read more
