paragraph_text: Access
  
  Access to outer space has been enabled and limited through and for some few countries, as non-spacefaring countries, particularly of the Global South have pointed out.Therefore inclusion has been a national and international issue, resulting in 1967 in the Outer Space Treaty and its claim of outer space as the " province of all mankind ". Furthermore social inclusion in human spaceflight has been demanded, with women to fly to space being still limited, and minorities like people with disability only having been selected in European Space Agency 's 2022 astronaut group.
