This just-accepted proceedings paper from last year's Oxford XIII/IAU Symposium 399 conference digs into a topic I have been thinking about for years: who really has the right to do exactly what in outer space, and what is the basis for any such 'right'?

What I found in researching it is that what one culture sees as benign might be deeply offensive to another, and that humans continue to ignore the lessons of #history (often flagrantly and deliberately).

The story of humanity in space is still being written, but the ink is drying fast.

CSE co-founders John Barentine and Aparna Venkatesan have published a new call to action in Frontiers in Space Technologies. They argue that we must look beyond outdated treaties to secure a just and sustainable future.

We have the agency to decide what happens next. Let’s build a future by design, not by default.

Is the Outer Space Treaty becoming a "League of Nations" for the cosmos?

In a new Opinion piece for Frontiers, we argue that existing space governance isn't fit for the era of private satellite megaconstellations. To protect our shared heritage, we need a shift toward "Space Environmentalism."

We still have the chance to build a future by design rather than by default—if we act before these norms are set in stone.

Blue Origin is seeking U.S. Federal Communications Commission approval to operate a 51,600-satellite "orbital data center" network. Today, the Center for Space Environmentalism officially filed our opposition to its application.

We're demanding a rigorous environmental review to assess collision risks and the severe threat to our shared night sky before any approval is granted. Read our comment in full: https://www.spaceenvironmentalism.org/actions/public-statements-and-comments/blue-origin-comment-april-2026

From economic risk to spectrum policy, CCIA’s latest work at #SatShow 2026 made one thing clear: policy choices matter. The proposed EU Space Act could cost up to €52B in EU GDP annually, while modernizing Equivalent Power-Flux Density rules can unlock more efficient spectrum sharing and stronger global competitiveness.

What makes this moment notable is not only the technical success of Artemis II, but the symbolic language around it. Calling this a “golden age of space travel” reflects a broader belief that human lunar missions are no longer isolated spectacles, but the beginning of sustained deep-space activity.
