Regulierung des Weltraums nach Loper Bright

I found this piece to be a relatively balanced take on the changes following the overthrow of the Chevron deference by the supreme court recently and how it applies to the regulation of outer space. It _is_ an opinion piece though, so it should be taken as such.

I also found this bit very interesting as it’s been missing on almost all of the Reddit discussion on this topic.

> Loper Bright says that courts must determine what powers agencies hold when an authorizing statute is unclear. The decision does not say that non-expert judges will now have to make critical technical decisions, contrary to what some are saying. Agencies will retain the ability to make factual findings in implementing statutes, especially on highly technical issues, and courts will give them great weight. Administrative law nerds will note that agencies still retain Skidmore deference, the older cousin of Chevron, which still directs courts to provide substantial weight to an agency’s interpretation of statutes, based on the agency’s expertise, procedural due process and consistency in the way it has implemented its authority in the past. Then there’s the Administrative Procedure Act, passed in 1946, after Skidmore but almost 40 years before Chevron, which directs courts to review rules under a relatively low bar requiring appellants to demonstrate that the agency has been arbitrary and capricious. So agency deference is not dead, it’s just no longer a slam dunk.
