World in Progress: Who owns space?

Sarah Steffen
April 28, 2021

This week we dive deep into outer space. Who owns space? Who owns mineral resources and water? The race is on — it's about big money, new business models and the future of our economy. And that of our environment. There are ideas of moving dirty industries to space, while our Earth would be reserved for clean living.

Space stations are also used for research into cancer treatment. And then of course there's space tourism. Tickets go for 55 million US dollars at the moment.

Arthur Landwehr brings us this feature about the future of our world and beyond. His report is presented by Charli Shield.
