Laws of space | Meet the experts

[@jonola1958]

Very interesting and informative. Thanks to Eesa and Thea Flem Dethlefsen.

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching, Jon!

[@SteveKelly]

This meet the experts series is so cool!

Thank you very much ESA and Thea, great insight into space law!

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching, Vasco!

[@gothmorph]

Interesting video thanks space girl..

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Thanks for watching, Jack!

[@sojithssp]

Yes, The space is the province of all mankind !

[@GideonOnDahMic]

well those laws only applies until someone enforces territory there

[@gliesegliese1411]

Could a moon base with permanet populatin claim to be a nation and own a bit of moon teritory?

[@tatianatub]

we don't know

[@British-Human]

Hopefully. I would like it if it could do that.

[@TheKlali100]

Because of Article I and II Outer Space Treaty, which establish that there is no sovereignty in outer space and on celestial bodies, that isnt possible under the current space law regime.

[@British-Human]

@@TheKlali100 well hopefully they revise it.

[@theunusualplanet6425]

Great content 👍👌#ESA Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

[@rochakbhargava7654]

ESA Please a make a video on cubesat for school students hope ESA will make a video on it

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll keep it in mind for future productiosn!

What precautions are taken for non repeatition of disasters like Challenger and Columbia.Is there a law for this.Regards.

One more question ESA " is it necessary to learn Russian for becoming an astronaut ??If yes then why??☺☺☺ Plz plz plz reply me . Waiting for ur reply 😊😊😊

[@gliesegliese1411]

If you are going to iss than yes russian is one of oficial languages of iss (Im not an expert or anything)

[@TJ-up8vj]

It is not necessary to learn Russian to join ESA. If you are to par take in ISS activities, then you must be proficient in Russian. ESA can provide laungauge lessons for Russian as part of astronaut training. Russian AND English are the official languages of the ISS, however, Russian is the official laungauge in the Soyuz (союз) on the easy to ISS.

[@sadikadhaan4595]

YES, of course you have to learn Russian. but it is the easiest requirement. Being a astronaut is very very hard.

[@astro_sam3548]

@@sadikadhaan4595 no it's not so hard to become a n astronaut cause everything is possible in earth . Thanks for your opinion and I am learning Russian😊😊

[@British-Human]

Russian isn't required, because the language spoken on the ISS is English, but you do launch from Russia, so Russian may be helpful.

[@amangogna68]

Great information !

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Thanks for watching!

[@HomoSapiensMember]

@ESA what does equal access mean?

[@nandinisachdev3209]

Space is for EVERYONE 😁

[@arishanwarali4764]

I want to be an ESA astronaut after watching this

[@AugustoRolon]

Thankiu

[@zeearendmaaktvideos850]

Esa can you make a video over how you be an astronaut

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Thanks for the suggestion! Have you checked our 'Astronaut coffee break' videos? kzbin.info/aero/PLbyvawxScNbvTuU0lVbdhhJxWlrxRbMFG

[@arckocsog253]

Very interesting

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

Glad you think so!

[@elshid6046]

What would happen if some day in the distant future, when humankind has its own, permanent moon base, the citizens of Luna would that be against the named treaties? Could they be accepted as a member of the UN?

Hi there, what qualification do i need to get into Space Law?

[@EuropeanSpaceAgency]

You might learn more here, Modibe: www.esa.int/About_Us/ECSL_-_European_Centre_for_Space_Law

really appreciate your feedback.

You have to have seen at least three Disney films apparently ;-)

[@ekaterinavalinakova2643]

Space cities should be allowed to create their own systems of governance. I support the extension of international law against torture into space, but I don't necessarily want the entirety of the US federal law jurisdiction to apply to US citizens in space. If a lunar city decides they wants to allow people sell recreational drugs, or to get high on the moon, or have a copyright-free society, they should be able to without interference from laws of their home countries. But no one should be allowed to torture or murder.

[@Nodiddyayochill]

How does this apply to aliens ?

[@clawsidefilms7529]

Or we could have a united earth and solve all of these problems

[@angelo.strand]

And who will lead us?

[@J0stAn0therJ0hn]

So only corporations get to own space property.

[@joegonzalez6241]

who would want to go to space with these laws.are all trash piles accounted for. transporting people would cost lots of money. easy way to split the resources is who took the most burden. i am still open for investment . the 100 million for research on my ship. i was thinking high powered magnets on the outer hull to attach the heat shield and deflect particles . i did want to make bubble around it but i choose to use what is readily available .

[@shinycompi]

Nobody owns space, right? So I could go ahead launch my own private mission and land on Mars? I know I need a permission to launch, but once in space I can everybody I want?

[@lumex1713]

Not quite for example you need to say where and how big it is what you are launching, so that collisions with other objects don't happen

[@wirehyperspace]

so if mine out their its everybody - you know laws are going to change as soon as people can go out their - for one if the earth wants something out their no one is going to do it if not getting paid - technology comes at a price

Space belongs to all of us.... or just Elon Musk ? who is over polluting it with satellites.

[@chippysteve4524]

He's done quite a bit to reduce pollution imo and bringing the internet to rural and maritime regions is so cool.

[@thomasgoodwin2648]

Gravity, radiation, and consumables. These are laws in space. The difference is not whether explorers should do the right thing, it's the fact that true law enforcement requires the infrastructure of established civilization to implement. Until that time, space will be largely governed more by the law of survival than any codified notion of better moral and ethical standards. In addition, law itself will need to be adaptable enough to meet the needs of society in vastly different situations. What is necessary and correct on one planet may be the absolute wrong thing on another. Rather than trying to codify an unknown future prematurely, perhaps we should seek to perfect a moral/ethical system that encourages peeps to 'do the right thing' for personal reasons. Such a system wouldn't hurt the peeps on Earth to much either. Wouldn't it be nice if we could eliminate prisons simply because we no longer have a use for them. Pie in the sky, I know, but the sky is perhaps infinite, and we appear to have plenty of time to work on it, so I wouldn't give up on the notion just yet.

[@elshid6046]

That's why there is an international treaty that has to be ratified by all space fairing nations, (in case of esa, it is all its member states) that says that if there is an accident in space, every nation that can assist, e.g. thought one of their spaceships, has to assist. Also, this treaty regulates that an human made object that crashes into the territory of a country that ratified that treaty has to return the object to the nation that put it in space. This is very important, since otherwise, nations might not help each other in this harsh environment.

[@thomasgoodwin2648]

@@elshid6046 I think perhaps you misunderstand the nature of my statement. As an example, let's say right now we plunk a dozen humans in a human Habitrail down on Titan. That small group will not have the infrastructure to deal with 'criminal' activity. The group itself has to deal with that situation, and no ink on a page on Earth is going to change that. In such conditions sentences are likely to be swift and severe (frontier justice). The only 'law' really practicable in that situation is going to be bourn more out of general morality, ethics and necessary practicality than anything else, though something akin to Maritime law will likely be implemented.

[@elshid6046]

@@thomasgoodwin2648 Space law is very similar to maratime law. This laws are not about the punishment for stealing a bar of chocolate, but rather should protect our heroes from people not wanting to reach their goal. Imagine a future where space travel to outer regions the solar system is as normal as a flight to the ISS and a trip to the orbit is possible for normal people. Then, we need laws that protect our vessels from space pirates and other dangers. That's what these treaties are made for. It's about cooperation and should not be like the famous regulation of the EU that regulated the shape of a certain type of vegetable.
