Virtual Workshop (in English) on November 4, 2025: Caroline Sophie Rapatz on “Fly Me to the Moon and Let Me Play Among the Laws?”
On Tuesday, November 4, 2025, the Hamburg Max Planck Institute will host its monthly virtual workshop Current Research in Private International Law at 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (CEST). Professor Caroline Sophie Rapatz (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel) will speak, in English, about the topic
“Fly Me to the Moon and Let Me Play Among the Laws?”
With the increasing privatisation and economisation of space activities, the need for private space law becomes urgent: Responsible exploration and exploitation necessitates suitable and reliable rules on jurisdiction and applicable law in Outer Space as well as substantive private law adapted specifically to space scenarios. The presentation will explore the options for developing a comprehensive body of such private (international) law rules within the framework established by the existing public international law treaties on space law. It will outline possible approaches to such an undertaking, using property law questions as the main example.
The presentation will be followed by open discussion. All are welcome. More information and sign-up here.

How i recovered my lost funds from a fake Investment platform?
Like many others, i was drawn into an online investment that appeared legitimate. The platform promised steady returns and smooth withdrawals. At first, everything seemed fine i made deposits, bought a few contacts, and even managed to withdraw small amounts.
However, things changed when i invested a larger sum. Suddenly, my withdrawal were blocked and my available balance was frozen. The support team claimed i needed to purchase additional contracts before i could access my funds. I complied, hoping it would resolve the issue, but only made things worse. I was left with a significant loss and no response from the platform. for months i felt helpless until a trusted contact introduced me to a professional recovery company. They carefully reviewed my case, verified all transaction records, and guided me through every step of the process. The process took patience and trust, but it was completely worth it. I’m sharing my story because there are countless of people who have lost money to similar online ”mining” schemes. not all recovery offers are legitimate, so it’s important to verify the credibility of anyone you work with. in my case, the team was professional and transparent, and effective and they helped me get my money back when i thought it was gone forever.
