JF - Space Exploration ACTournament: Lexington | Round: 2 | Opponent: Lakeland High AVe | Judge: Braedon Kirkpatrick FramingThe standard is maximizing expected wellbeing. Prefer1~ Phenomenal introspection —- it’s the most epistemically reliable —- historical moral disagreement over internal conceptions of morality such as questions of race, gender, class, religion, etc prove the fallibility of non-observational based ethics —- introspection means we value happiness because we can determine that we each value it —- just as I can observe a lemon’s yellowness, we can make those judgements about happiness.
2~ Aggregation – every policy benefits some and harms others which governing bodies have a jurisdiction to consider, which also means side constraints freeze action – o/w – if they’re right that each person has equal moral value, in order to guarantee most value we should save the most people.3~ Weighability – only consequentialism explains degrees of wrongness—if I break a promise to meet up for lunch, that is not as bad as breaking a promise to take a dying person to the hospital. Only the consequences of breaking the promise explain why the second one is much worse than the first. Intuitions outweigh—they’re the foundational basis for any argument and theories that contradict our intuitions are most likely false even if we can’t deductively determine why.Reducing the risk of extinction is always priority number one. Adv 1: Space ExplorationPrivatization of space travel kills off public space exploration. Tradeoff—Space exploration must be public-sector – entrepreneurs purposely understate the barriers to colonization, yet exploit its potential for financial gain.Phillips 20 ~(Leigh, science writer and EU affairs journalist, author of Austerity Ecology and the Collapse-Porn Addicts.) "We Don’t Need Elon Musk to Explore the Solar System," May 8, 2021, https://jacobinmag.com/2021/05/elon-musk-space-exploration-mars-colonization~~ TDI AND profitability at all, but rather of our species’ survival through the eons. Privatization of space travel makes it politically polarizing and drains public support.Phillips 20 ~(Leigh, science writer and EU affairs journalist, author of Austerity Ecology and the Collapse-Porn Addicts.) "We Don’t Need Elon Musk to Explore the Solar System," May 8, 2021, https://jacobinmag.com/2021/05/elon-musk-space-exploration-mars-colonization~~ TDI AND to deliver more to STEM subjects, mothballing language courses and classics programs! Space exploration is essential to the survival of humanity. It solves a litany of existential threats – don’t put all your eggs in one basket.Fitzgerald 3/9 ~(Shanon, Assistant Websites Editor at Liberty Fund), "Why Human Space Exploration Matters," March 9 2021, https://www.econlib.org/why-human-space-exploration-matters/~~ TDI AND is becoming, if it is not already, one of pure choice.

The United States federal government should end commercial space exploration and tourism, ruling that they violate its non-appropriation obligations under the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 and its succeeding treaties.Cooper 8 ~Cooper, Nikhil D.
