This book was awarded by The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) in 2018 with the Social Science Book Award
“Virgiliu Pop, in his contribution to Volume 4 of the Space Regulations Library brings to bear centuries old real property legal theories with the modern day space race. … Pop’s work delves deep into the chasm of one of the most underdeveloped areas of property law … . Ultimately, Who Owns the Moon! deserves a close inspection by anyone interested in the fascinating interplay between the law and what was once science fiction but may soon be reality.” (Chris Kalantzis, Journal of Space Law, Vol. 37 (2), 2011)
