Hi Folks,
Just a quick reminder of the theme for this Wed. night coming.
The next IAA meeting will be on Wed 24 January at 7.30 when Joan Jeffery will give a talk on "The Laws of Outer Space".
Can you own an acre on the Moon, or Mars? Do I have mining rights on 'my' asteroid? If a crime is committed in space, what laws, if any, are applicable? If there is a 'traffic collision' in space, whose laws apply? If you go into orbit as a space tourist, do what extent are you legally covered, and legally liable? If a British astronaut aboard the ISS does something negligent, as a result of which another crew member is injured, or dies, what happens? If a baby is ever born in space, what nationality, rights, and obligations will s/he have? Come along to hear the answers to these and other fascinating questions.
Lecture Room 5, Stranmillis College, Belfast. Admission free, and all are welcome.
See you there.
Pook.
