Deep dives
The Rise of Astropolitics
Astropolitics is emerging as a significant factor in global governance, influenced by increased space activities and geopolitical dynamics on Earth. The number of lunar missions is expected to surpass 100 by 2030, and satellite launches have vastly increased, indicating a rapidly growing space economy. Projections suggest the space economy could exceed $1 trillion by 2040. However, space is not a lawless environment; rather, it's governed by treaties like the Outer Space Treaty, although the effectiveness of these laws is increasingly in question due to geopolitical tensions.
