This one is about contract and mineral rights negotiations from deep space.
The rules are pretty clear, a business cannot stake a claim on a body in space unless a human sets foot on it, physically. But the negotiations are difficult because the rights to the body actually go the human who’s feet are on said body. Corporations foot the bill getting a person out there but must negotiate a finder’s fee when the astronaut has proven that he or she has landed.
This can get tricky. To say more would be spoiling it.
Excellent story.
