Public International Law is a system of law

Borders are established by two stages: 1) delimitation ­ establishing of the borders on paper, treaties with annexes, which have maps where the border is shown and the description of the border etc; 2) demarcation ­ establishing the border on the ground since maps and reality can be a bit different sometimes. In addition : 1) subsoil to the centre of the world is part of the territory; 2) airspace over the territory and outer space, until 100-110 km; 3) islands, 4) territorial and internal waters. There's also quasi territory of the states, e.g. 1) territory of embassies, 2) territory of the ships and aircrafts, 3) artificial islands, 4) cables and pipelines (under the sovereignty of the state if they are installed in the international zones), 5) all artificial objects in space (here they are always quasi territory of the state)

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY A century ago communication across any distance was dependent upon the telegraph or letters. No jets crossed the ocean, no television pictures enabled us instantly to see events in any part of the world, there were no worldwide telephone networks and no computers. It is just a short lifetime since humanity first travelled into space and discovered how fragile our planet looks. FROM FIREWORKS TO THE MOON At first glance you might think that there couldn't possibly be anything common between a 13 th century festival in China and the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. However, there is a link and that is that they both relied on the use of rockets. The Chinese first developed rockets by filling bamboo tubes with an explosive made from saltpetre, charcoal, and sulphur

Saturn

The combination of its light weight and fast rotation causes Saturn to spread out, or oblate, its center. Since Saturn is a gas planet, it does not have a solid surface. Spacecraft are unable to land on this type of surface. The clouds that are seen when looking at Saturn are just the top layer of a very deep layer that covers a center of liquid hydrogen. The clouds are blown by constant winds that reach speeds up to one thousand miles per hour at the equator of the planet ("Great Space Place"). The rings of Saturn are more spectacular than those of any other planet. Although this planet's rings are very wide, extending from the top of its atmosphere to well beyond the orbits of its closest moons, they are very thin, measuring no more than a few kilometers (about a mile) in thickness ("Great Space Place"). The Pioneer 11 flyby made several discoveries about the rings. The rings are made of particles that are dust-sized up to large
