1 The approach of Professor Matte is consistent with the concept of the world community, which can serve as the umbrella concept, at the philosophical level, for the new aerospace law and the law of survival.

3 Warfare in space is not a topic of the book (though the topic is recognized), since Professor Matte limits the discussion to peaceful communications. Yet warfare and nuclear proliferation haunt the far-reaching proposal offered in the book under review.
