iTunes LinkEpisode 37: Space Law and Extraterrestrial Property Rights, Interview with Nigel and Lady Saint Whitehall
Recap: I interview Lord and Lady Saint Whitehall, two lawyers with pseudonyms, as a follow-up to Episode 27 (Stellar Scams). We discuss the Outer Space Treaty, legal precedents in the relevant areas, and extrapolate to what may need to happen legal-framework-wise in the future as private companies start to exploit extraterrestrial resources.
