I'm wondering about this
"space" isn't under any legal jurisdiction, is it?
So, if someone were to, say, brutally murder billionaires in space, hacking up their bodies into a fine paste and shove it out the airlock, technically no actual crime would be commited, right?
Just asking for a friend...

That's a very interesting read
Thanks for that.
So in conclusion, I, er sorry, my friend, would still be open to a legal prosecution.
Best to make it look like an accident, then.

I had a delayed transfer in Houston, and got to chatting with few blokes in transit
their job turned out to be globally administering satellites and allocating orbital slots. they said it was some international agency I've now forgotten, but they were all yanks. We didn't mention crime but it's only a a matter of time before there's a test case. My money is on rape, not murder
