Space and Sustainability
-Abstract: The 21st century has seen a significant increase in space activity, driven by private sector entities using space for commercial enterprises. This increased use of space is not without cost to the delicate space environment. The threat posed by human-made debris in low Earth orbit (LEO) is now widely recognized as presenting a danger to current levels of space activity, and a more sustainable approach is sought by private and public sector actors. This article will evaluate sustainability in LEO and whether the consensus regarding orbital debris is matched by legislative or governmental action. More broadly, however, it will be contended that notions of space sustainability have largely been restricted to LEO. This article will seek to move the sustainability debate beyond LEO, by highlighting the potential risks to delicate space environments that arise from human activity in both exploring and settling other celestial bodies. The article will attempt to reframe the discussion on sustainability, advocating legal and policy solutions that need to guide future space activity to ensure that humanity avoids replicating the problems now found in LEO. Space sustainability is a concept that has emerged within the past 15 years to refer to a set of concerns relating to outer space as an environment for carrying out space activities safely and without interference, as well as to concerns about ensuring the continuity of the benefits derived on Earth from the conduct of such space activities. As such, it encompasses the concerns of both space actors and those who are not space actors but who nevertheless benefit from space activities.

Lesbians.
Lesbians are women who are attracted to other women romantically, emotionally, or sexually. This sexual orientation is one of the many variations of human sexuality, and like other sexual orientations, it is not a choice, but rather an inherent part of an individual's identity. The term "lesbian" is often used to describe women who are exclusively attracted to other women, but it can also refer to women who are primarily attracted to women but may have some level of attraction to men as well.
