Space exploration should be aimed at peace, cooperation and cooperation, not war and competition

Space resources should be jointly developed by people in a peaceful way

Space Army Preparation Competition?

At that time, the common Cold War thinking helped people's doubts and fear of space, and caused the military roots of space technology and applications.

John F. Kennedy has a famous saying: "If the Soviets control the space, they can control the earth, just like the countries that control the ocean in the past century to control the mainland."

The Space Army prepared competition, as people know, is the fierce competition in the Soviet Union and the United States to achieve the advantages of space.

Since the "Spetenick No. 1", spatial technology and application have developed rapidly. 70 years of space exploration and use have completely changed the world's communication methods, which greatly improves the navigation capabilities of air, ground and sea.

Space Technology enables us to monitor the weather mode, strengthen the use of land, and greatly improve our understanding of our own planet and our position in the universe.

It seems that the space ambitions against other countries and the advantages of gaining advantages in space seem to have reappeared. Although the current space activity is generalized and commercialized, people also acknowledge that space is an important part of the economic, social and scientific progress of each country, the growth of global anti -space capabilities is worrying.

Crowded space

Although ordinary citizens can currently carry out manned space tasks, military strategists warn that the competition and crowds of space will lead to conflict on outer space.

The tension on the earth's heating up has increased the risk of human beings into an unimaginable space war in some ways, and that may destroy the economy and the key civilian and military infrastructure that can severely depend on space.

In April of this year, the International Committee of the Red Cross warned the international community that "weapons that might be damaged, damaged, destroyed or caused by the failure of civilian or ductical spaces may require huge personnel. cost."

If the space war erupts, this destruction may have a lasting effect.

Prevent colonialism

However, despite the opposite claims, a space war is not inevitable.

Over the past 60 years, "space is a shared area under international law", that is, places where global interests are converged to ensure that all countries can develop and use space, regardless of its economic or scientific development. The concept of space is a new concept of "combat field" contradicting the previous concept.

Private companies have also joined the Space Contest, and SpaceX's Falcon 9 was launched at the Kennedy Space Center.

The first UN General Assembly resolution on the surface of the space, hoping to "avoid expanding the current country's confrontation to this new field."

In 1967, 10 years after SPUTNIK launched, during the most intense period of the Cold War edge policy, diplomats gathered together and concluded the Outr Space Treaty. Today, 111 countries have participated in this extraordinary international diplomatic feat, which emphasizes the common interests of all human beings to explore and use the outer space as the "peaceful purpose". The treaty also confirmed that all countries can explore and use space resources including the moon and celestial bodies based on equality based on equality.

The "Outer Space Treaty" is different from the tradition of international law. It proposes the most important legal principles of strengthening everyone's common interests in space to frustrate potential space colonial ambitions. The treaty has established a basic governance system based on mutual understanding and friendly relations by announcing the "non -misappropriation" of the outer space.

Fight for peace

Since the 1980s, the United Nations General Assembly made a year to prevent countries from preventing foreign air forces competitions (PAROS) "do not take this goal against this goal."

Although it may increase the legalization of the space for space, it is important to prevent the arms competition of the outer space. Moreover, proper emphasis on the humanity of the space and maintaining its safety, stability and sustainability, which promotes the needs of the peace of the outer space.

For decades, the multilateral dialogue between the Outer Space Treaty and the United Nations laid the foundation for avoiding space conflict. This peaceful legal and system framework will continue to protect us from the consequences of irresponsible behaviors in space. As an initiative for international law suitable for the military use of the outer space, the diplomatic language is changing in this direction.

Governments, industry interests, folk society, and young generations can play a role and promote the interests and common interests of human beings in space. Inspired: "Space has the space of everyone."

In an era of climate change, global epidemic, and rapid exhaustion of resources, there is no room for domination and superiority. On the contrary, whether on the earth or in the outer space, all of our common interests in peace are more important.
