  • Rules for the Heavens: the Coming Revolution in Space and the Laws of War
    RULES FOR THE HEAVENS: THE COMING REVOLUTION IN SPACE AND THE LAWS OF WAR John Yoo* Great powers are increasing their competition in space. Though Russia and the United States have long relied on satellites for surveillance of rival nations’ militaries and the detection of missile launches, the democratization of space through technological advancements has allowed other nations to assert greater control. This Article addresses whether the United States and other nations should develop the space-based weapons that these policies promise, or whether they should cooperate to develop new international agreements to ban them. In some areas of space, proposals for regulation have already come too late. The U.S.’s nuclear deterrent itself depends cru- cially on space: ballistic missiles leave and then re-enter the atmosphere, giving them a global reach without serious defense. As more nations develop nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) technology, outer space will become even more important as an arena for defense against weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation. North Korea’s progress on ICBM and nuclear technology, for example, will prompt even greater in- vestment in space-based missile defense systems. This Article makes two contributions. First, it argues against a grow- ing academic consensus in favor of a prohibition on military activities in space. It argues that these scholars over-read existing legal instruments and practice. While nations crafted international agreements to bar WMDs in outer space, they carefully left unregulated reconnaissance and commu- nications satellites, space-based conventional weapons, antisatellite sys- tems, and even WMDs that transit through space, such as ballistic missiles.

  • Following the Path That Heroes Carved Into History: Space Tourism, Heritage, and Faith in the Future
    religions Article Following the Path That Heroes Carved into History: Space Tourism, Heritage, and Faith in the Future Deana L. Weibel Departments of Anthropology and Integrative, Religious, and Intercultural Studies, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401, USA; [email protected] Received: 29 November 2019; Accepted: 28 December 2019; Published: 2 January 2020 Abstract: Human spaceflight is likely to change in character over the 21st century, shifting from a military/governmental enterprise to one that is more firmly tied to private industry, including businesses devoted to space tourism. For space tourism to become a reality, however, many obstacles have to be overcome, particularly those in finance, technology, and medicine. Ethnographic interviews with astronauts, engineers, NASA doctors, and NewSpace workers reveal that absolute faith in the eventual human occupation of space, based in religious conviction or taking secular forms, is a common source of motivation across different populations working to promote human spaceflight. This paper examines the way faith is expressed in these different contexts and its role in developing a future where space tourism may become commonplace. Keywords: anthropology; tourism; spaceflight; NASA; heritage; exploration 1. Introduction Space tourism is an endeavor, similar to but distinctly different from other forms of space travel, that relies on its participants’ and brokers’ faith that carrying out brave expeditions, modeled on and inspired by those in the past, will ultimately pay off in a better future for humankind. Faith, in this case, refers to a subjective sense that a particular future is guaranteed and may or may not have religious foundations. This faith appears to be heightened by the collective work undertaken by groups endeavoring to send humans into space, creating a sense of what anthropologists Victor and Edith Turner have described as communitas, a shared feeling of equality and common purpose.

    STELLAR CHRONICLE EDITORIAL With the launch of “STELLAR CHRONICLE” a Quarterly E Magazine, the UL Space Club is embarking on yet another ambitious voyage. A voyage fuelled by the enormous enthusiasm and youthful exuberance of its members and well-wishers. Complementing the other activities of the club, Stellar Chronicle intends to facilitate a platform for exploring, expressing, and conveying the views, observations and creative outputs of the club members and well-wishers amidst a wider audience. I am sure that this objective will eminently be fulfilled, considering the track record of the club powered by the effervescent youth and the galaxy of patrons it has. More than 50 years of Human activities in space has resulted in a continuing flow of social benefits improving the quality of life on earth. Critical knowledge and capabilities for developing Satellite Telecommunications, Global Positioning, Earth Observation, Weather forecasting, Manned spaceflight etc. have emerged. Space exploration has sparked new scientific and technological ingenuity and innovation not to mention the better understanding of our universe and the solar system that has accrued. A new perspective on our individual and collective place in the universe has evolved. It will therefore be our endeavour to bring to you in the form of articles and excerpts, the history of space exploration as also technology as it unfolds. We are fortunate to have a galaxy of eminent space scientists and technologists as also other science and technology domain veterans amidst us, to hold our hands in this onerous task. I take this opportunity to seek their continued support and guidance, as also, invoke their blessings.
