Who owns space, and who has the right to mine the Moon, asteroids, and the resources of the solar system?


This episode uses Space to Grow to examine the Outer Space Treaty, the Moon Treaty, asteroid mining, moon mining, space property rights, and the companies trying to turn space resources into an economy.


It then follows the same question into Space Force, China, anti-satellite tests, national security, and the risk that the race for space resources repeats the power struggles already shaping Earth.
