Expedition to Public Outer Space

Expedition to Public Outer Space

Outer space is celebrated for its remarkable scientific achievements—from Moon landings and the exploration of distant planets and comets to pioneering deep-space research. Yet, much of today’s activity is dominated by national and commercial interests in limited Earth-Space environment that claim to benefit humanity while excluding structural engagement of civil and public perspectives. Expedition to Public Outer Space will challenge this paradigm by rethinking the role of the public in space initiatives.

However, these technologies are neither neutral nor inclusive of society.
