C|M|LAW Professor and Associate Dean Mark J. Sundahl participated in a roundtable discussion on liability issues connected with the commercial human spaceflight industry.  The roundtable was part of the University of Nebraska’s 6th Annual Space and Cyber Law Conference at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C.  Some of the issues addressed at the conference included state efforts to limit the liability of space tourism operators, the indemnification of spaceflight operators by the federal government in order to protect this new industry from crushing liability, and the application of the international space law treaties to commercial spaceflight.
