Space as a Place of Cooperation and Innovation

Political decisions taken during the Cold War era led to a shift in focus from a nationalistic arms race to a cooperative space environment. President's leadership and diplomacy efforts resulted in the UN outer space treaty, declaring space as a resource for all mankind. This treaty paved the way for collaboration in space science and the establishment of the International Space Station. The transformation from competitive to collaborative space exploration illustrates the potential for cooperation and innovation in utilizing shared resources for the benefit of all humanity, a lesson that can be applied to current issues such as AI development.
