JF Asteroid Mining AffTournament: Harvard Westlake | Round: 2 | Opponent: Harvard Westlake LD | Judge: Gwak, Moon Sung It causes dangerous space mining and deregulation globally – multilateralism solves. Private appropriation by US entities risks unraveling multilateral space governance. Cooperative space governance solves existential threats But how do you regulate "space weapons" without undermining "the great prospects opening up before mankind as a result of man's entry into outer space" (the opening words of the OST)? Plan: Space faring nations should establish a multilateral Space Resource Fund that restricts private asteroid mining. | 1/15/22 |
