Doug Griffith was the initial guest for this Space Show program and as we began discussing liability, waiver, and other insurance issues for the developing personal spaceflight industry, but he was soon joined by Kelly Alton who wrote the X Prize insurance. This program was an in-depth discussion of all aspects of insurance, not just from the perspective of the spaceflight company but also from the view of a spaceflight participant and investors. We talked about the likely success of using waivers, various state laws with waivers, centers of jurisdiction and why some states may be better than others for protection or litigation, depending on which side of the issue you are on. This is a must listen to program as it demonstrates the legal and practical issues and insurance requirements that company management must start addressing as soon as possible. You can continue to offer your comments or submit questions to both Doug and Kelly. Doug can be reached at douggriffith@dcgriffithlaw.com. Kelly can be reached at kelly.alton@unitedrisk.com.
