This seminal monograph provides the essential guidance that we need
to act as responsible ecological citizens while we expand our reach
beyond Earth. The emergence of numerous national space programs
along with several potent commercial presences prompts our
attention to urgent environmental issues like what to do with the
large mass of debris that orbits Earth, potential best practices
for mining our moon, how to appropriately search for microscopic
life, or whether to alter the ecology of Mars to suit humans
better. This book not only examines the science and morals behind
these potential ecological pitfall scenarios beyond Earth, it also
provides groundbreaking policy responses founded upon ethics. These
effective solutions come from a critical reframing for scientific
settings of the unique moral voices of diverse Buddhists from the
American ethnographic field, who together delineate sophisticated
yet practical values for traveling through our solar system. Along
the way, Buddhists fascinatingly supply robust environmental
lessons for Earth, too. As much a work of astrobiology as it is one
of religious studies, this book should appeal to anyone who is
interested in space travel, our human environment in large scale,
or spiritual ecology.
