JF - Frontier Mentality ACTournament: ASU | Round: 1 | Opponent: idk | Judge: idk Frontier Mentality ACFor The Belt!What is Outer Space? Advocates of private appropriation of space see it as a "Frontier" to be conquered and exploited. This "Frontier Mentality" is the dominant narrative in our national history.Billings, 2006 – National Institute of Aerospace ~Linda " To the Moon, Mars, and Beyond: Culture, Law, and Ethics in Space-Faring Societies" Space Policy November https://www.researchgate.net/publication/248494321_How_shall_we_live_in_space_Culture_law_and_ethics_in_spacefaring_society~~ How we talk about outer space will determine how we treat it, the types of policies we consider, and whether those policies have a chance of succeeding. Discussing space as property to be appropriated reinforces the "Frontier Mentality" and the dominant social order.Billings, 2007 – Manager at NASA Astrobiology Program ~Linda "Overview: Ideology, Advocacy, and Spaceflight—Evolution of a Cultural Narrative" in Societal Impact of Spaceflight By Steven J. Dick https://history.nasa.gov/sp4801-chapter25.pdf~~ Changing the discourse and the assumptions behind outer space is necessary to expand beyond the Earth.Messeri, 2017 - prof of Anthropology at Yale ~Lisa March 15, "We Need to Stop Talking About Space as a "Frontier" The language we use matters, especially when it's deployed in the service of envisioning possible futures" https://slate.com/technology/2017/03/why-we-need-to-stop-talking-about-space-as-a-frontier.html~~ My framework is Astro-environmentalism – viewing outer space as a wilderness to be protected rather than a frontier to be conquered. From an Astro-environmental perspective, you would reject private property in space.Miller, 2001 – eco critic for the Electronic Green Journal ~Ryder EGJ no. 15 "Astroenvironmentalism: The Case for Space Exploration As An Environmental Issue," http://escholarship.org/uc/item/2d37b8cx~~ The role of the ballot is to critique the historical myths which inform American identity—this allows us to come to grips with colonialism and embrace a more inclusive identityTrofanenko 2005 Professor of Social Studies at University of Illinois (Brenda, Professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Illinois, The Social Studies, Sept/Oct) Contention One – You must Reject the Frontier Mentality in SpaceThe Frontier Mentality extends structural violence and inequality from Earth into space.Launius, 2012 - former chief historian at NASA ~Roger D, July 30 "The Declining Significance of the Frontier in Space History?" https://launiusr.wordpress.com/2012/07/30/the-declining-significance-of-the-frontier-in-space-history/~~ The Frontier Mentality is a form of Terror Management. Our anxiety forces us to overlook injustice and death on Earth in favor of the escapism of making it rich in space.Jackson, 2021 - Professor of Sustainable Development at University of Surrey ~Tim "Billionaire space race: the ultimate symbol of capitalism's flawed obsession with growth" July 20, The Conversation https://theconversation.com/billionaire-space-race-the-ultimate-symbol-of-capitalisms-flawed-obsession-with-growth-164511~~ How we treat the astro-environment demonstrates how we will behave toward Earth's environment.Miller, 2001 – eco critic for the Electronic Green Journal ~Ryder EGJ no. 15 "Astroenvironmentalism: The Case for Space Exploration As An Environmental Issue," http://escholarship.org/uc/item/2d37b8cx~~ The Frontier Mentality extends militarism by securitizing outer space.Billings, 2017 – consultant NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office ~Linda, "Should Humans Colonize Other Planets? No" Theology and Science · June https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317888512_Should_Humans_Colonize_Other_Planets_No~~ The frontier mythology guarantees nuclear imperialism and violenceSlotkin, 1985 - Professor of American Studies @ Wesleyan (Richard, Olin, The Fatal Environment, p. 60-61) | 1/7/22 |
Militarization ACTournament: Baudl | Round: 2 | Opponent: IDK | Judge: IDK Militarization ACMy framework is utilitarianism – the primary function of a just government is preserving life, without which there are no other values.Contention One: Space militarization1. An Arms Race is heating up in Space – nations are developing weapons to protect commercial assets.Rogin, 2021 - national security columnist for The Washington Post ~Josh, "Opinion: A shadow war in space is heating up fast" November 30, 2021 https://www.washingtonpost.com/people/josh-rogin/~~ 2. Privatization of space is the cause of militarization – commercialization expands the military industrial complex and blurs the lines between commercial and military technologySalin, 2001 – senior researcher at the Center and Institute of Air and Space Law at McGill Univ~Patrick A. "Privatization and militarization in the space business environment", Space Policy, Vol. 17, Issue 1, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0265964600000503~~#!~~ 3. Private exploitation of space expands the military industrial complex – the frontier mentality reinforces nationalism.Billings, 2017 – consultant NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office ~Linda, "Should Humans Colonize Other Planets? No" Theology and Science · June https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317888512_Should_Humans_Colonize_Other_Planets_No~~ 4. Commercial space enterprises are deeply entangled with the militaryDinerman, 2009 - senior editor at the Gatestone Institute ~Taylor March 2, 2009, "Space weapons: soft power versus soft politics," http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1317/1~~ 5. Space privatization is fostering space militarization because private assets will need to be defended, and commercial appropriation undermines space treaties which prevent Earth conflicts from spreading to space.Salin, 2001 – senior researcher at the Center and Institute of Air and Space Law at McGill Univ~Patrick A. "Privatization and militarization in the space business environment", Space Policy, Vol. 17, Issue 1, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0265964600000503~~#!~~ 6. Privatization of space ensures space conflicts because it requires withdrawing from the Outer Space TreatyGanagle and Dudley-Rowley, 2005 – Exec Dir and CEO of Oceanic, Polar and Space-Alaska ~Thomas, Marilyn "To Build Bifrost: Developing Space Property Rights and Infrastructure", http://www.astrosociology.com/Library/PDF/Submissions/To20Build20Bifrost.pdf~~ 7. The impact is global insecurity and war – space militarization undermines any peaceful use of space due to debris, and increases the chances for war by causing tensions and putting us on a hair triggerGilliard, 2018, Senior Editor of the International Affairs Forum ~Alexandra, 9/6/18, "What are the Consequences of Militarizing Outer Space?," https://globalsecurityreview.com/consequences-militarization-space/~~ 8. Space arms races will escalate to international conflicts because deterrence will collapse – there are no checks and balances like there are on the ground.Krepon and Thompson, 2013 – founder and researcher at The Stimson Center ~Michael and Julia "Anti-Satellite Weapons, Deterrence and Sino-American Space Relations."
