How to govern space mining with Professor Steven Freeland

How should we regulate commercial actors who want to mine the Moon for resources? It’s not science fiction, it’s a question nations and the international community is facing right now, as the US released the controversial Artemis Accords last year, and discussions at the UN ramp up on this issue. Join me as I talk with Professor Emeritus Steven Freeland about international space law-making mechanisms and the challenge of regulating resource extraction, a key issue for 21st century commercial and international competition.
