The book provides a conceptual foundation for such a new body of law and proposes a space constitution. Robinson and White break down space law into two broad subtopics; first, the evolving body of national and international law concerning space law practice, such as spacecraft insurance, satellite broadcast licenses, NASA contracts, and international treaty law; and second, the theoretical aspect of the evolving discipline- its underlying philosophy, paradigm, or metaphysical conception."- dj.
