Part 2 of the 3-part series on "Who owns the sea, sky, and space?"

Ever wondered who actually owns the sky?

Today we'll discuss who owns it, why it's still not clear who does own most of it, and why that doesn't actually really matter.

• What does 'the sky' actually mean? • Different parts of 'the sky' • Why only the very bottom of the sky matters • The 13th Century law upon which western laws are based • How do countries use ownership of the sky to help their political goals • Where does the sky end?
