What Does Risk Mean in This New "Risky Space Business"?: Managing Liability Exposure for Injuries to Crew and Passengers Resulting from Us Commercial

By Maria-Vittoria Giugi Carminati

In the only analysis of its kind, Dr. Maria-Vittoria "Giugi" Carminati asks the question: if a commercial space operator kills or injures one of its spaceflight participants or a crewmember, what is the extent of the operator's liability? In the United States, that question has no clear answer. Dr. Carminati explores the way the United States manages liability, at state and federal level, and from state to state.

Tort law in the United States exists at the state level. However, commercial spaceflight and its regulation are creatures of federal law. Understanding how these two systems interact and, often, conflict is critical to understanding how commercial spaceflight operators can manage exposure.

Messy Bessey's Holidays

Short stories with good color illustrations. Pictures are fair - easy to read, with good informantion in the 5 to 8 year old age group. Short 1 character settings around Christmas, Kwanzaa, Chanukah, and New Years. I would recommend this one to K through the 2nd grade levels
