Empire (Star Wars) or Utopia (Star Trek)? The Predictive Power of History, Policy, and Pop Culture - Episode 5

Episode 5 contributes to the conversations from Episodes 1 through 4.  Here, we explore China's future in outer space through the 3 Body Problem book trilogy, The Expanse Amazon Prime series, and the Serenity movie / Firefly television show.  Science fiction continues to guide legal practitioners and policy makers as we think consider law and policy in an area that lacks documented State practice and resolved litigation.

Speakers:

• Dean Cheng, Senior Fellow, Potomac Institute for Policy Studies

• Tracy L. Reynolds (moderator), Co-Chair, ASIL Space Law Interest Group
