Noting with interest Thomas Gangale's mega-project of listing a 100 CDs worth of space music, I am happy to announce that at UNL we have taken a shortcut: staff, faculty, alumni and students of the UNL Space, Cyber and Telecommunications Law program democratically voted for the Fabulous Forty of Space Law, forty 'songs' across the ages from amongst ultimately 189 nominated which best represent space law (and Nebraska's role in it :-)). The FabForty looks as follows (more info on our website soon):

10 年Very good timing with the #satshow approaching. I would add "satellite" by the Dave Mathews Band.

10 年That's great! How did you do that? It certainly fits the list, although it would obviously require enough people to have heard it before they would nominate it for the next version of the list :-))
