Space governance

TagLast edit: Jun 15, 2022, 9:40 PM by Pablo

Space governance (also called space law) is the set of rules, principles and standards governing activities related to outer space.

Evaluation

80,000 Hours rates space governance a “potential highest priority area”: an issue that, if more thoroughly examined, could rank as a top global challenge.[1]
