Throughout history, humans have explored new places, making both
good and bad moral decisions along the way. As humanity proceeds to
explore space, it is important that we learn from the successes and
not repeat the mistakes of the past. This book provides the first
comprehensive introduction to ethics as it applies to space
exploration and use. It examines real-world case studies that
exemplify the ethical challenges we face in exploring beyond Earth:
space debris, militarization in space, hazardous asteroids,
planetary protection, the search for extraterrestrial life,
commercial and private sector activities in space, space
settlements, very long duration missions, and planetary-scale
interventions. Major themes include human health, environmental
concerns, safety and risk, governance and decision-making, and
opportunities and challenges of multidisciplinary and international
contexts. Ideal for classroom use and beyond, the book provides
ways of thinking that will help students, academics and
policymakers examine the full range of ethical decisions on
questions related to space exploration.
