- Abstract
International space travel has steadily grown in the volume of countries and participants over the past 50 years. The earliest explorers leaving their homeland to see what lay across the vast ocean were in many ways similar to future space explorers leaving Earth. International family law is a term used to describe the different applications of domestic law that may be applicable to the participants. The is no independent body of law referred to as international but more precisely an area of legal practice and psychological work that takes into account the fluid mobility of Earth’s inhabitants. The dialogue between family law and international space exploration has little case law to support it.
