About

Welcome to the NASA Committee sessions for the Schoolhouse Model United Nations 2026!
﻿
Schoolhouse MUN is an online Model United Nations event organized by a team of volunteers from Schoolhouse.world. Delegates will have the opportunity to represent different countries in six distinct committees of the United Nations. This experience will enhance their understanding of current world issues and improve their public speaking, collaboration, and leadership skills.
﻿
Agenda: Developing Human Safety Protocols for Space Launches, Voyages, and Reentry (Set in 1961)
﻿
Chairs: Siddh S, Amrita N
﻿
Overview of the Committee’s Agenda:
﻿
The Space Race of 1961: arguably one of the most pivotal events in human history. It was an event that turned outer space from an unexplored dreamscape to a battlefield of bitter competition, namely between the Soviet Union and the United States.
﻿
In this fierce quest to establish dominance in the celestial realm, however, many lives were lost. Astronauts on both ends were placed in dangerous conditions, what with space travel still being revolutionized and optimized, and many lives became statistics for the losses that both nations faced, as the price for being some of the first countries to trek outside the Earth’s atmosphere. The nations found themselves struggling to ensure the safety of human lives while balancing the need to expand the bounds of their scientific knowledge. 
﻿
Delegates, your task is to create an agreed-upon proposal of policies that will optimize human welfare and safety while venturing into outer space. Collaborate with one another based on your nation’s policies and viewpoints to allow humanity to continue their exploration. 
﻿
Will you be the one to take a leap, not just for your nation, but for mankind?
﻿
---
﻿
Please note that each delegate must attend a minimum of three committee sessions to be eligible for a participation certificate.
﻿
You are also welcome to join as an audience member! We look forward to your participation!
