I'm curious...

Well, I've had my hand in several space related proposals. The Tracking Near Earth Objects was an International Security resolution, mimicing a sort of NASA leveled expenditure. That resolution passed and was a rewrite of the Space Defense Initiative -- I don't know if the text of that previous proposal still exists or not.
SDI was a resolution, but it failed (in fact, it was among the first resolutions to fail -- only a few before that went down). Tracking Near Earth Objects also incorporated some ideas from my high school Model United Nations resolution titled "Tracking and Preparation for Asteroid Collisions" (I still have a copy of this). 
Around the time of the founding of the IDU in 2004, there was another proposal Cheney-Land and I worked on "The Peaceful Uses of Outer Space", which was in reality a re-write of the UN Convention on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. That proposal got sacked on the grounds that many NationStates players consider themselves to be space fairing races with extensive militaries. I still want to write a Global Disarmament resolution on banning the use of Mass Drivers on Civilian Targets (planets or ships). People are more than welcome to beat me to it!
There was a non-IDU space junk proposal that this resolution will discourage (though not block).
