A long neglected ingredient in the formation of a proper dystopian future was finally added to the mix a couple weeks back when son of Mississippi Michael Dodge (pictured at left) received the first-ever space law certificate in the United States from the National Center for Remote Sensing, Air and Space Law. Yes, space lawyers are now among us. While I see that such a specialization was inevitable, and I figure the mere fact that there is a need for it bodes well for humanity’s march to space + the first thing that came to mind was the image which will now, unquestionably, be a part of our interplanetary mass-transit experience..

Rest assured that even in some far-off age when our tesseract shaped ambulances traverse Lorentzian spacetime using inter-universe wormholes there will be a lawyer there to chase it. Huzzah!
