As such it was a pleasure to read an article in the Telegraph this weekend for which she was interviewed and extensively quoted. “Who Owns the Moon? Time to call in the ‘Space Lawyers‘” by Edward Helmore with Professor Gabrynowicz as expert interviewee offered a timely and interesting overview of where the issues on ownership and mining stand at the moment.

I also thought it was great that the BBC then included a mention of Professor Gabrynowicz in the current “10 Things We Didn’t Know Last Week” (#4 being “There is a professor of space law at the University of Mississippi“).

Although it’s a few years old now, here’s a link to my own lecture around this topic.
