JanFeb -- CP -- US PIC vs MiningTournament: ASU | Round: 1 | Opponent: Brophy TJ | Judge: Wheeler, Scott CPCP: The appropriation of outer space through asteroid mining by private entities should be banned by all countries except the United States of America.Rebound’s accelerating, driven by U.S. business output, BUT fragile due to corporate debt—-stable policy is keyCaroline Miranda 21, Consultant for the International Finance Corporation at the World Bank Group, Fernando Blanco, Principal Economist for Europe and Central Asia of the IFC, and Tatiana Nenova, IFC ECA/LAC Regional Economics Manager, Country Economics (CELCE), "An Uneven Global Economic Recovery in 2021 Promises to Invert a Longstanding Principle of Success and Failure", World Bank Blogs, 5/7/2021, https://blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttalk/uneven-global-economic-recovery-2021-promises-invert-longstanding-principle-success AND often leads to the excessive destruction of capital, even under normal circumstances. It’s perception-based—-the possibility that precedent could be applied crumbles confidence and spirals into global declineMohamed A. El-Erian 17, Chief Economic Adviser at Allianz, Chairman of US President Barack Obama’s Global Development Council, Former CEO of the Harvard Management Company and Deputy Director at the International Monetary Fund, "America’s Confidence Economy", Project Syndicate, 3/20/2017, https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/trump-market-optimism-economic-growth-by-mohamed-a—el-erian-2017-03 AND especially if these economic challenges prompt the Trump administration to implement protectionist measures. Unpredictable shifts ruin biz con AND overall growthSarah Chaney Cambon 21, Reporter on The Wall Street Journal's Economics Team, BA in Business Journalism from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, "Capital-Spending Surge Further Lifts Economic Recovery", Wall Street Journal, 6/27/2021, https://www.wsj.com/articles/capital-spending-surge-further-lifts-economic-recovery-11624798800 AND to follow and will be able to plan around that," he said.

JanFeb -- CP -- US PIC vs Whole RezTournament: Harvard Westlake | Round: 2 | Opponent: Presentation AB | Judge: Michael, Joshua CPCP: The appropriation of outer space by private entities—except for non-space tourism activities and non-space colonization activities by US private entities—is unjust.That competes because we’ve provided a better ethical statement than the aff – disproving the aff’s desirability.Solves all their advantages – their only internal is space tourismUS wins space race now due to private competition – its key to space dominance and militarization is good – the plan nukes the US’s silver bullet against Chinese aggressionWeichert 21 – former Congressional staff member who holds a Master of Arts in Statecraft and National Security Affairs from the Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C. He is the founder of The Weichert Report: An Online Journal of Geopolitics ~Brandon, "The Future of Space Exploration Depends on the Private Sector," 7/5/2021, https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/07/the-future-of-space-exploration-depends-on-the-private-sector/~~#slide-1~~ AND America’s dynamic start-ups win that race, not China’s state capitalism. And, space dominance key to global peace – nuclear and conventional deterrence is collapsing, which will provoke civilization-ending revisionist aggression from Russia and ChinaDr. Robert Zubrin 19, Masters in Aeronautics and Astronautics and Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Washington, President of Pioneer Energy, Founder and President of the Mars Society, Senior Fellow with the Center for Security Policy, The Case for Space: How the Revolution in Spaceflight Opens Up a Future of Limitless Possibility, p. Google Books AND of the other, we would be the overwhelming loser by the exchange. Space dominance solves hegemony – deterrence strategies, even rudimentary ones, are perceived as weakness and causes aggressionWeichert 17 (Brandon J. Weichert. Brandon J. Weichert is a former Congressional staff member who holds a Master of Arts in Statecraft and National Security Affairs from the Institute of World Politics in Washington, D.C. He is the founder of The Weichert Report: An Online Journal of Geopolitics, "The High Ground: The Case for U.S. Space Dominance," Orbis, Vol 61, Issue 2, 2017, pp 227 – 237, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0030438717300108) AND example, the overwhelming American presence in space presumably would dissuade potential attackers. US hegemony prevents great-power conflicts that escalates to nuclear warBrands and Edel 19 (Hal Brands and Charles Edel.

Increased international prestige lays the foundation for Russian territorial expansion and foreign policy aggressionGurganus 19 (Julia - nonresident scholar with the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Eugene Rumer - senior fellow and the director of Carnegie’s Russia and Eurasia Program, "Russia’s Global Ambitions in Perspective," 2/20/19, https://carnegieendowment.org/2019/02/20/russia-s-global-ambitions-in-perspective-pub-78067) AND tools has long been a feature of Russian domestic politics and foreign policy.
