Christopher Newman - Environmental Protection In Space Law - Cold Star Project S02E43


Listen Later

Dr. Christopher Newman is Professor of Space Law and Policy at Northumbria University. We're talking about an important but not oft-seen issue in space, which is a part of many areas such as space situational awareness: environmental protection.  


The first thing you're likely to notice is that phrase, like many things in space, does not quite mean what you first thought. It is farther reaching and more broadly applied. Dr. Newman and Cold Star Project host Jason Kanigan discuss:

  • Why we should care about environmental protection in space
  • What capabilities exist for environmental protection to be included or executed through space law
  • The issues with enforcement of any agreements
  • Christopher's experience with implementing environmental protection though space law
  • What the good doctor would download directly into his students' skulls, "Matrix-style", if he could  
  • and more.
