Who owns Mars? It’s a surprisingly pressing problem. That's because Mars is about to get very busy. The US and China are both planning to send humans in the 2030s. SpaceX might get there even earlier. So who owns what up there? Is it basically ‘finders, keepers’? What happens if things get nasty? Well, luckily space lawyer Dr Frans von der Dunk is on hand to break down all things space law.
