We started our interview by discussing the relevance of space law as well as recent changes in this area, particularly in regards to Earth observation and remote sensing. Professor Gabrynowicz went over the original purpose of satellites for scientific research and the process by which countries agree to make relevant data freely available to countries affected by a natural disaster.

This is the Deep Space Message by Mel Marsh of Covington, GA: Greetings from Earth! I hope this message finds you well. The next time you are in the neighborhood of our Sun (it’s a relatively small middle-aged yellow star), please come to the third planet. You can’t miss it. It’s the small blue planet with a large satellite. While you are here, please come get me and take me back to your home. I would love to learn from you and you can learn from me. I’m an anthropologist, a student of humanity. I am also a student of space and I loved my astrobiology courses.

Jim and Mel gave us a comprehensive discussion on astrosociology and its importance to our developing a space-faring culture and economy. As a result of listener questions, the subject of academic bias was talked about, something both Mel and Jim have experienced.
