Part 3 of the 3-part series on "Who owns the sea, sky, and space?"

We humans do a pretty good job of dividing up ownership of the world. But what about beyond that? Who owns space? Who decides who owns that, and why does it matter?

In today's episode we cover:

Why nobody used to even think about space ownership
The Cold War (and what people thought it meant for weapons in space)
The Space Treaty (and what its real intention was)
Where does space start?
What happens if a shuttle crashes when in space?
Why you can't really buy a piece of the moon
