Reviews
'Steve Mirmina and Caryn Schenewerk take us from the earliest days of space flight to thinking of future demands on the legal field in this exciting and informative book packed with historical perspectives on the development of the earliest Outer Space Treaty and the US and international organizations responsible for the conduct and oversight of civil and national security space operations. International Space Law and Space Laws of the United States will whet the appetites of students today giving any consideration to the study of law and should encourage all of us who consider ourselves practitioners of any type of space activity to give serious thought to ways we can actively encourage peaceful uses of outer space and promote responsible and ethical behavior in all our operations.' -- Charles F. Bolden Jr., Major General, U.S. Marine Corps (Ret.), 12th NASA Administrator, Founder and CEO Emeritus, The Charles F. Bolden Group
'Comprehensive and engaging. It's not only an essential reference for every space law practitioner, but also a student's introduction to everything that is essential to a career in space law. Steve and Caryn have covered all the bases here. I'll have this one on my bookshelf as long as I'm in this industry.' -- Audrey Powers, Vice President at Blue Origin and Astronaut on New Shepard Flight 18
