Space Junk - Space, Law, and Morality (with Duncan Blake)

When the US created Space Force last year, it raised a lot of eyebrows, and some ridicule. But did you know that US Air Force Space Command existed for decades already? And that China already has a space force? And that Canada, France and Japan are all seeking set up something similar? Even with this increased militarization of space, there is still a lot of law governing these activities. Space is anything but a lawless “Wild West”, and to learn more I speak with Duncan Blake, former space lawyer and Wing Commander with the Royal Australian Air Force, currently Senior Researcher at UNSW Canberra. What does space law say about military activities in space?“War and Peace in Outer Space: Law, Policy, Ethics” Cassandra Steer and Matthew Hersch (ed.s), (Oxford University Press).  SpaceWatch.globalANU College of LawANU Institute for Space
