The ethics of outer space extends from my work in bioethics and the philosophy of technology more broadly. The growth of the European Space Agency and the convergent area that spaces ethics is, provides a very interesting environment through which to study the ethics of emerging technlogies.

“At the core of NASA’s future space exploration is a return to the moon, where we will build a sustainable long term human presence.” (NASA Website, 2009)
