William Hulsey was the guest for this Space Show program. Mr. Hulsey, as an expert attorney in intellectual property, put for the case for developing space intellectual property rights. He very thoroughly explains why this is important, what intellectual property rights mean for commercial space development and above all, why the time is right for developing these laws and rules now, rather than after commerce has begun.

G. perspectives and issues to address which she does very well in her book, "Astro Turf: The Private Life of Rocket Science." We also discussed other aspects of the early days of JPL through its evolution into the modern JPL.
