Maybe this is normal for high profile events.
Maybe not. Thought I would pass it along.
Pfft. Rookie. Everyone knows space jurisdiction is tied to location of launch site

The Bezos, Musk and Branson billionaire space race is happening right now
But also happening in 2020āif all systems are goāwill be the beginning of regular U.S. space tourism flights, either by Richard Bransonās Virgin Galactic (ticker: SPCE) or Jeff Bezosā Blue Origin or both. Also possibly coming this year are tourist trips to the International Space Station (ISS) on a craft built by Elon Muskās SpaceX. (Boeing has a spaceship too, but that company might be otherwise occupied.)
So apologies to Donald, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Ludwig van, but commercial space travel could end up being the biggest damn thing to happen this year. In fact, I think itās the beginning of a real game-changer for humanity.
This is not The New Frontier approach of Space Exploration as a means of moving the culture. Transferring the issues we have on Earth to Space, like celebrating Billionaires trying to out do each other or making Space a 'War Fighting Domain' is dangerous.

On a seperate note, who has juristiction in criminal or civil cases where, say, a space hotel is concerned?
You get arrested when you return to Earth.
The principal basis of determination is the Outer Space Treaty of 1967.
