An editorial journey that began in 2021 ends with three books! 5 years of deadlines, even in my sleep. Time for a long pause, writing without deadlines, revisiting paper ideas, tackling hundreds of unread PDFs, and finally catching up with friends whose plans I kept cancelling!
I am delighted to share that our edited volume, Legal Responses to Space Resource Utilisation, has now been published by Springer. Across 16 chapters, the volume examines the international legal framework governing space resources and space economy. link.springer.com/book/10.10…
