"Space law and achievement as embodied in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty are stuck in the 1960s. Without amendment, the treaty is stuck without property rights for the Moon and the planets. Our achievement is stuck with an ISS that really does not improve much on Skylab or Mir. Our lift capability is backsliding. Our capability to get to the Moon has disappeared maybe to be reclaimed some day. So it may not be such a big deal to have to give up the ISS due to orbital debris because the public benefit from the station is so low."
