| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The change of U.S. administrations creates the opportunity for a broad assessment of the country's space policy, starting with some basic questions.
What should the goal of national space policies be? Are they trying to ensure freedom of action for certain states and not others? Does the definition of "freedom of action" need to be updated to reflect the increasing number of space actors? Should the focus be on establishing future cooperative efforts in space, or is space being preserved just for its own sake? |
