Loads of rubbish. It should be free far all to spur innovation and get companies involved. This is what will get the dormant space industry going. There has to be great profit prospects to drive it. The sheer amount of resources in the asteroid belt makes an obsession about possible conflicts an overreaction. We fight for resources on the earth because we are billions of people with limited resources. That is not the situation in space. It is the opposite. Vast amounts of resources but with nobody to argue over it. "Space as humanities common heritage", that just makes me wince, what arrogance. We are a tiny insignificant spec in the universe. Space is not our heritage. That is a nonsensical statement. I wonder what the aliens on Alpha Centuri thinks about being labeled the heritage of some bipedals down on Telus.
