Space Attorney Michael Listner joins Rae to discuss how law applies to the cosmos.

Questions Include: How does one become a space lawyer? How does space law apply to everyday people? Who does space belong to? Who will grant Elon Musk the permission to go to Mars? Is a settlement on Mars legal? If an accident happens on a space colony, who is held liable? What happens when you commit a murder in space? What happens if there is a criminal act committed on the ISS? What kinds of services does a space lawyer provide? Who owns the flag on the moon? Does “Space Force” violate the Outer Space Treaty? Will Mars One ever colonize Mars?
