and Space Law, University of Mississippi School of Law, University of Mississippi

Humanity is poised on a threshold unlike any other in its history. After millennia of being awed by the night sky and centuries of studying the patterns of stars and planets, the vast resources of space are within our grasp. As the commercial space industry grows in influence and importance, complex legal and ethical questions emerge about territory, resource rights, sustainability, equity, and the preservation of the space environment. Join us as we navigate the intricacies, gaps, and inconsistencies of space law and explore what boundaries exist on humans as we expand beyond our Earth and into the Universe.
