But I think that Wrath of Khan like last years choice is the best for the course. With it covering the topics of eugenics, rectifying our choices made is our creations (applicable to AI, and the morality of terraforming, it fits within the course narratives perfectly I found.

It’s a good choice as it also marks the change from a strategic study towards a more diplomatic study.

Furthered by showing that people who are unable to let go of these beliefs get left behind by society. Kirk is unable to let go of his Klingon racism (black Americans) and becomes no longer useful to the federation (society).

Why build something that would actually benefit everyone, when you can just use worthless platitudes to try and appease both sides or approve projects that benefit American companies and workers? 😂🤣

That isn’t to say we will get it perfect and that reflective critique won’t also be needed, but we can avoid many of the large traps we often fall into and can start from a much better position of equity, inclusion, and fairness as a world society and race.

Which we will then be reflectively critiquing what has already happened to reform or readjust, which is slow and proven to be extremely resistant to change.

That discussing these things now about how we want to handle these future endeavours will afford us the opportunity to avoid making many costly mistakes often made by rushing “progress”.

I believe that now is the perfect time to discuss the legal, cultural, societal, and socio economic ideas about outer space exploration and travel. Our laws, norms, and culture are always discussed after events have happened (they are typically “reactive”).

Orbit isn’t an infinite frontier. It’s a finite commons. And caring for it is the price of reaching everything beyond it. #EcoSpaceLaw #SpaceSafety

But managing debris isn’t just policy, it’s narrative. Gravity captured imagination because catastrophe was intimate. It didn’t show geopolitics, it showed a woman struggling to breathe. We need that clarity in our governance. The courage to realize that every fragment is a risk to actual lives.

We need binding rules, not guidelines. Mandatory end of life deorbiting. Economic penalties for abandoned hardware. Orbital no dumping zones. Shared debris tracking infrastructure. Even a global cleanup fund proportional to launch frequency… a cosmic polluter pays tax.

The danger isn’t just collisions, It’s political denial. States hesitate to adopt debris laws because no one wants to give up advantage. Meanwhile, private launch rates skyrocket. The risk is collective, but the incentives are individual. The classic tragedy of the commons played out in microgravity

The debris cascade shown in Gravity (the Kessler Syndrome) isn’t hypothetical. NASA tracks tens of thousands of fragments, with millions remaining invisible to sensors. Orbital space, is arguably the most fragile commons humanity has, yet we treat it like an industrial byproduct.

Always a good visit! You ever make it out to Riverside, Iowa? It feels a lot like Vulcan

Arrival reminds us that survival isn’t about supremacy, it could ultimately be about syntax. The future belongs to those who can listen across galaxies. #SpacePeace #SciFiFutures

We could build “cosmic diplomacy academies”, train envoys in science and linguistics, and ensure every mission carries communicators, not just engineers. Star Trek as well, highlights the importance of communications and understanding frequently.

Our real world challenge is similar. As global tensions rise, so does the militarization of orbit. Maybe the best defense policy is a translation policy, creating institutions fluent in others’ intentions.

Sci-fi often shows first contact as war, Arrival made it grammar. Meaning replaced missiles. That’s the diplomacy space law has yet to imagine.

In Arrival, communication is salvation. Amy Adams’s linguist doesn’t defeat aliens, she learns their language and, in doing so, time itself. It’s one of the most radical ideas in space politics, understanding as defense.
