Inclusion has been a national and international issue, resulting in 1967 in the [[Outer Space Treaty]] and its claim of outer space as the "[[Common heritage of mankind|province of all mankind]]". Furthermore social inclusion in human spaceflight has been demanded, with [[Women in space|women to fly to space]] being limited, and minorities, like people with disability, only having been selected in [[European Space Agency]]'s [[2022 European Space Agency Astronaut Group|2022 astronaut group]].

The dominating issue about access in most recent years has been the issue of [[space debris]] and [[space sustainability]], since established spacefaring countries endanger access to outer space with their orbital space polluting activity.<ref name="v399">{{cite journal | last1=Yap | first1=Xiao-Shan | last2=Heiberg | first2=Jonas | last3=Truffer | first3=Bernhard | title=The emerging global socio-technical regime for tackling space debris: A discourse network analysis | journal=Acta Astronautica | volume=207 | date=2023 | doi=10.1016/j.actaastro.2023.01.016 | pages=445–454| bibcode=2023AcAau.207..445Y }}</ref>
