Summary

74% Informative

The 1967 Outer Space Treaty prohibits territorial claims in outer space and on celestial bodies in order to avoid disputes.

Without national laws governing space settlers, a nation might attempt to protect its citizens’ interests by withdrawing from the treaty.

A property rights law could specify how much authority settlers have and protect their investments.

Enacting real property rights in space would create a marketplace for buying, selling, renting and mortgaging property.

Property rights would operate a little differently in space than on Earth .

Space property rights would include safety zones around property to prevent interference.

U.S. property rights law could also contain a reciprocity provision, which would encourage other nations to pass similar laws.
