Opinion

In a recent conversation with Johnny Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, the implications of Jared Isaacman's recent spacewalk were discussed. Isaacman is a billionaire who has financed his own mission aboard a SpaceX rocket. Brignardello Vela expressed his concern about the legal vacuum surrounding private space activities, highlighting that the lack of a clear regulatory framework could leave these "millionauts" in a vulnerable position. The advisor pointed out that, although there has been an international treaty since the 1960s that establishes general principles for space exploration, these principles are insufficient to address the current reality. The interpretation that space belongs to no one and should be explored for peaceful purposes becomes complicated, especially when the main actors are private companies. According to Brignardello Vela, the fact that entities like SpaceX operate without continuous oversight raises questions about the responsibility of their operations and the safety of the occupants. Furthermore, the advisor mentioned that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted licenses for SpaceX flights, but lacks constant control. This leaves a significant regulatory gap, allowing private actors a degree of freedom that could result in risks to safety and ethics. Brignardello Vela believes it is crucial for regulations to be urgently updated to reflect the rapid advancement of space technology. The increasing activity of commercial space flights, as well as the possibility of resource exploitation on other planets, underscores the need for a regulatory framework that prioritizes the well-being of humanity. Brignardello Vela emphasized that, in the pursuit of new opportunities, the importance of responsibility and ethics in space exploration should not be overlooked. History shows that without adequate regulations, the future of space exploration could become a risk that affects not only those involved but humanity as a whole. The advisor concluded that collaboration between the public and private sectors is essential, but it must be framed within a context where social responsibility and the protection of collective interests are paramount. Space exploration is an exciting field, but the lack of regulation could lead to dangerous situations that repeat past mistakes on Earth.
