Asteroid Mining DISADTournament: UH | Round: 1 | Opponent: Newman Smith SJ | Judge: River Cook DA: Commercial SpaceCenturies of empirics prove strong property rights are the key driver of investment – specifically true for the space economyCEA 21 ~Council of Economic Advisers, executive agency advising the president on economic policy, 2021, "Exploring New Frontiers in Space Policy and Property Rights," Economic Report of the President, https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/ERP-2021/pdf/ERP-2021-chapter8.pdf~~/Kankee OST non-appropriation regs wreck legal certainty required for investor confidence in asteroid miningCampo 21 ~Jose A. Martin del Campo, J.D. Candidate at Texas AandM University School of Law, 3-23-2021, "Finders K Finders Keepers: Who Has Say Over Private Property in Space," Texas AandM Journal of Property Law, https://scholarship.law.tamu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1155andcontext=journal-of-property-law~~/Kpels the search for extraterrestrial materials such as water and minerals.4 According to NASA, minerals found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter contain an estimated value of approximately $100 billion for every person on Earth.5 However, uncertainty lingers because private entities are unsure that they will possess property rights to their payload or the mined celestial body.6 Celestial bodies refer to naturally occurring objects in w is a combination of agreements with the foundation of space law consisting of the 1967 Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies ("Outer Space Treaty").9 At the time of signing, the Outer Space Treaty hoped to foster cooperative and peaceful exploration of outer space without discrimination of any kind.10 However, Article II of the Outer Space Treaty contains the bane of private property rights in outer space, which forbids the national appropriation of the moon and other celestial bodies.11 While the Outer Space Treaty explicitly mentions the prohibition of public entities claiming celestial bodies, private enterprises risk failing to have their interest in property rights recognized by the global community. Private entities and investors grapple with the issues pertaining to their rights to mine and extract resources from outer space legally. Without further international recognition of their property rights, private entities may shy away from exploring the concept of celestial mining. The issue of not knowing what laws are applicable, or to whom private companies are accountable, impedes the progress private entities make in achieving their goal of harvesting extraterrestrial resources. Private entities fear that the non-appropriation clause of Article II of the Outer Space Treaty, the epicenter of the issue, will strip them of the right to transport their mined resources back to Earth. A new legal regime will likely need to be formed that facilitates the continuation of innovation and promotes the exploration of outer space. Whether or not past private and public international doctrines, i.e., the law of the sea, may provide guidance in creating a new doctrine of space law is yet to be determined. The advancement in modern technology, along with the depletion of natural resources, creates a unique opportunity for private entities to resolve this issue through the exploitation of outer space. Space law is once again relevant due to its inadequacies in protecting the property rights of said entities in space. Part II will explore the different treaties and principles that gave rise to space law, and Part III will analyze whether the application of such principles should continue, or if the establishment of a new regime offers a more beneficial long-term solution. Part IV will then explore the structure of a new outer space regime and the enforcement of property rights. II.
