Racing to the Moon
Billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are leading the charge in space exploration, with ambitious plans for asteroid mining, Mars settlements, and more.
A Wild West in Space
As the space business booms, regulations lag behind, leaving a largely unregulated frontier for commercial space missions and ambitious projects.
The Need for Ground Rules
With the lack of enforceable laws, experts stress the importance of governments setting ground rules for activities such as moon landings, asteroid mining, and space tourism.
Challenges and Solutions
As companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin push the boundaries of space exploration, the need for regulations becomes increasingly urgent to prevent conflicts, environmental damage, and economic instability.
Enforcing International Norms
While existing space treaties offer guidelines, there is no concrete way to enforce them. Efforts are underway to establish new agreements for commercial entities and ensure sustainable practices in space.
