2011: fifty years separate us from the flight of Yuri Gagarin.
Fifty years of extraordinary successes, with the kind of apotheosis
represented by the first man on the moon; fifty years also of
bitter failures, even tragic when they involved the deaths of human
beings; finally, fifty years during which space largely contributed
to the scientific and technical, political and economic, cultural
and social transformation of humanity. This is a critical analysis
of the decisions and the actions which constituted and constitute
still the field of astronautic activities, to analyse this field's
strategies and choices, their consequences on the natural
environment and on humans, in short to work out and apply an
ethical investigation. This work is the fruit of research carried
out by the French Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) over
the past ten years, in collaboration with many organisations,
astronautical or not: ESA, NASA and especially ESPI.
