Today, as the demand for computing power grows, that question is not only important; it is imminent.

The narrative presents a compelling case for the urgency of updating space law to accommodate the rapid commercialization of orbital infrastructure. The strongest version of this argument highlights the mismatch between outdated treaties designed for scientific exploration and the realities of high-density satellite deployments, data governance, and private investment. The piece effectively underscores the legal and regulatory gaps—such as the lack of frameworks for orbital allocation, debris mi...
