Abstract

“The Baboon who went to the Moon” (John Bush/JC Phillips, Storytime Africa, South Africa) is a marvellous fairy tale that shows that determination leads far, even to the Moon and potentially beyond. However, it also invites analysis of the space activities of this genius baboon with respect to international space regulations. In this context, the space freedom rights conferred by the Outer Space Treaty will be discussed together with the constraints and further regulations that have to be respected in order to guarantee the sustainable and equitable use of outer space for all.

In the context of this fairy tale it will come as no surprise that not all living beings are mentioned in the international space related treaties since they were drafted by human beings who did not consider the possibility that one day other living beings might undertake space activities to fulfill their desire to go to the Moon.
