Congratulations to Aaron Boley (Ph.D 2007), co-author with Michael Byers of the new book “Who Owns Outer Space,” published by the Cambride University Press. This critically acclaimed book takes the reader through the science, law, and policy challenges raised by the rapid development of space activities. Issues like space debris, asteroid strikes, and anti-satellite weapons all raise environmental, safety, and security concerns, and the development of space also raises issues of equity in the allocation and use of resources and benefits of space development. The book explores these issues from perspectives of both science and international law. Will humans succeed or fail as we move into space?
The book is available via open access through Cambridge Core.
