β¦ Synopsis
Spaceflight is a rational undertaking, yet full of emotions. It is a dream of mankind and a multi-billion industry likewise. It is subject to a distinct branch of law β and moreover part of modern pop culture. In short: spaceflight is fascinating. βOuter Space in society, politics and lawβ is an inter-disciplinary approach to the understanding of modern space law. Technical, cultural and historical aspects lay the foundation for a sound comprehension why space law norms have been established and what they mean in practice. The reader will realize the impact space and spaceflight have on society β from Stonehenge to climate change. A new approach to presenting space law: comprehensive and illustrative.
βWe live in a society absolutely dependent on science and technology and yet have cleverly arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. That's a clear prescription for disaster.β
Carl Sagan
