Meyers, Ross
New international legislation that allows for commercial claims over celestial bodies like asteroids is necessary to incentivize and regulate space exploration. Society has a strong interest in the exploration and development of space, especially in modern times when space and minerals are in short supply.

Even more troubling is Mexico’s handling of the legal case against the suspects.

National liberation movements constitute a category of armed nonstate actors that appeared predominantly in the decolonization period and relate to peoples’ self-determination.
