The fastest growing areas of law and policy in the 21st century are the rules and regulations governing the burgeoning space industry. We are in an unheralded era of human innovation, exploration, and exploitation of space and space resources, where advances could alter the course of human society. But are we ready? In this course, we will examine the patchwork of regulations that exist at both national and international levels, and develop potential solutions that seek to honor the promise that “the exploration and use of outer space shall be the common province of all humankind.” Engaging with some of the most significant issues facing us as a global society, ranging from celestial mining regulations to intergalactic property rights, from satellites to space tourism, and from militarization to colonization, you will learn how to craft smart policies to ensure that space development is both sustainable, equitable and profitable. You will develop your research and presentation skills as you complete assignments that emulate activities of a professional policy analyst, and learn how to build solutions from the ground up.
