## Resource

We recently discussed who rules the waves in our episode 'The Law of the Sea' and it got us thinking.. who owns the moon? Foreign affairs and security expert, Baroness Catherine Ashton joins us this week to explore the cosmos. We look back on the launches of Sputnik 1 and 2, in the year that our host Nicholas Mostyn was born (1957), and consider how space science, travel and technology has changed since. But most importantly, we ask the burning question - what should we expect for the future? Law and Disorder is a Podot podcast. Hosted by: Charlie Falconer, Helena Kennedy, Nicholas Mostyn. Executive Producer and editor: Nick Hilton. Associate Producers: Ewan Cameron, Lulu Goad Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
