Space Wars – Rules of Engagement in a Vacuum | Lecture by philosopher of law Lonneke Peperkamp
from Radboud Reflects, verdiepende lezingen · host Radboud Reflects, verdiepende lezingen
Space is being militarized. Our galactic surroundings are no longer a domain purely for science, as various nations are engaged in a zero-g arms race. Crowded satellite orbits, space tourism and even commercial extraterrestrial mining are turning space into a melting pot of conflicting interests. This uncharted battleground is in urgent need of custom rules of engagement. Why do we need a separate legal framework for space? Learn from philosopher of law Lonneke Peperkamp about the challenges in thinking about rules for space.
