THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CORPORATION (ISDAC): WHY, WHAT, HOW, WHEN, WHERE AND HOW MUCH

摘要

The International Space Development Authority Corporation is to be enabled internationally by United Nations General Assembly resolution for participation by resolution and contract of member nations. The goal is to have all nations participate in phase one of space development, (as opposed to research and exploration), by taking an allocated part of the larger plan for its coordinated contribution to our off-world colonization of the solar system. This phase is targeted for completion in 100 years. The structure of the corporate authority is to include space governance not only for Earthkind humanity but, also, for the benefit of future settlers, with a legislature including former astronauts and cosmonauts, a strong executive branch, with a space bank, and a supreme court with inferior departments. Astro law would be administered by these courts as an extension of the common law from America to space at the cutoff date of 2000 A.D. The function of this space governance authority is to design and architect humanity's habitats in space; to organize how to construct it, when and where; to commit the necessary budgets and concurrent sources of money; to plan a monetary and fiscal system for an economy in space; to create a space bank for exclusive administration of that plan; to arrange for dispute resolution, criminal procedures, and commercial codes, family law, and workers compensation administration in space; and to demonstrate a permanent community of 10,000 humans, (as the target), living and working as settlers in space habitats during our lifetime, and/or within 100 years. Authority management would be appointed by the United Nations secretary-general from nominees submitted by the International Astronautical Federation and its member organizations.
