Up, up and away: Future legal regimes for long-term presence in space
Current space law may be inadequate to meet the challenges of human presence and long-term activities in space. Auhors are invited to review and evaluate current law, both public and private, in that regard. Others may consider howfuture activities could or should be regulated, or the problems inherent in space colonisation and governance. Science fiction has already opened such matters, and some may wish to reflect in the contribution that has there been made.
