The Policy
Written during the early years of space travel, the Outer Space Treaty is woefully outdated today. We will form an international commission to draft an update with modern understanding and which is consistent with the UN International Bill of Human Rights, Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the Manifesto of Human Needs.
The Research
Our Broader Stance on:
We are on the verge of an age of space exploration fueled by unprecedented capability of individuals to create and operate private space vehicles. As a result, it's time to catch up - and get ahead - of these changes to prevent repeating in space the same mistakes we've made here on Earth.
Hand-in-hand with exploration of space will inevitably come human expansion. In 1967, humanity had the foresight to create the Outer Space Treaty[1] which sought to protect space from unsustainable exploitation and dangerous weaponization. With all that's changed in more than 50 years, it's time to update international treaties governing human expansion into the infinite dark void.
