“Space Mining doesn’t need more international regulation from the U.N.”

In his article, Chris Tolton, CEO of Orbital Mining Corporation (OMC), argues against additional UN regulations for space mining, suggesting that current frameworks already support responsible resource extraction. Tolton emphasizes that excessive oversight could stifle innovation and delay advancements crucial to developing the space economy. He advocates instead for industry-driven standards and partnerships to foster ethical and efficient resource utilization. Tolton believes this approach will better enable sustainable space exploration and commercial growth.
