Ten years have passed since the first satellite Sputnik I was launched in 1957 and the first international law related to property rights in outer space was enacted in 1967 when the "space and space treaty" was born. Why does it take so long for international satellites to achieve community in order to establish such a treaty? At the peak of the Cold War, why did the United States and the Soviet Union fail to look at the issue of ownership in space? John Cobb Cooper of Princeton University is known as "Father of Air Space Act." I used Cooper's personal document, his oral history of his son, and the Cold War government's document, I followed the story of the Space Treaty's way. I compared the violent response of the Soviet government against the U - 2 case and the peaceful response to the Corona Spy satellite, and found that the delay in establishing the treaty was due to military negligence. The space treaty is an important document, but it has not changed since 1967. This has a tremendous effect on space travel, satellites are increasingly being owned by companies, not sovereign states.

For decades, the universe has been explained as the ultimate boundary by US leaders, so it is full of features often considered to have other boundaries in American history. The will to develop will conquer everything. In 1962, John F.

Early discussion on space ethics was developed mainly in the space competition between Soviets and America, whether the boundaries of the universe should be available and noticeable. In 1967, the provisions of the Space Treaty permitted all countries that fulfill international rules to use the universe. Therefore, the commercial use of the universe by public and private organizations is open, especially in mining and space tourism. This principle is always controversial among people who support environmental protection, sustainability, protection.
