Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about what inspired you to create this course?

This prepares learners to work in various sectors, from government agencies to private companies. HOST: Considering the increasing commercialization of space, what are some current industry trends relevant to your course?

HOST: That must be an exciting field to work in. What are some challenges faced in the field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the rapidly evolving nature of space law and policy, which requires constant curriculum updates. Additionally, making complex legal concepts accessible to non-lawyers can be tricky. HOST: It certainly keeps you on your toes! Looking to the future, where do you see the responsible development of space resources heading? GUEST: I believe we'll see more international cooperation and regulations in place to ensure sustainable and equitable use of space resources. Our course prepares learners for these developments.
