Signed in the 1960s, the Outer Space Treaty is an international contract that states that no one "owns" outer space and international cooperation should be prioritized when exploring it. However, because the treaty doesn't outline penalties for violations or include a plan for enforcement, many organizations have found loopholes that allow them to bypass the premises of the treaty. This debate asks whether the honor system is enough, or whether there should be some practical way of enforcing this fundamental treaty.
