Fascinating Q&A on ArbTech with Carrie Shang on Asgardia , the first Space Nation - and its Space Court. If you missed it, catch it here: https://lnkd.in/e3e3dnX. Asgardia may sound like a fanciful project - but its mission is ambitious and inspiring.
The fact is that we are on the cusp of a revolution in civilian/commercial activity in space - as we've seen in recent days with Sir Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos' pioneering commercial flights into space. In the next 50 years or so, space and space-related activities will look drastically different than it has for the previous 50 years. Consider that just over 50 years ago, on 16 July 1969, Apollo 11 landed on the moon - and the time between the first flight at Kitty Hawk (in 1903) and the moon landing was a scant 66 years! Space provides a tabula rasa opportunity to reinvent ourselves from scratch - including our way of thinking about justice, both substantively and as a process. Asgardia's notion of decentralized justice is on the cutting edge of current developments in the dispute resolution space. ArbTech is at the forefront of the discussion on these developments, and Tech and Justice in general - and we share the same sense of optimism about the Future of Justice.
