Comparative visions of cosmic expansion
The visions of the primary protagonists of the development of outer space diverge in terms of both their motives for and means of extending life into the cosmos. The present article analyses the implications for sustainability associated with the visions of three prominent entities – the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the ‘space entrepreneurs’ who lead the private spaceflight industry (such as Elon Musk, Richard Branson, an…
Delineating acceptable risk in the space tourism industry
Advances in suborbital, orbital, and beyond orbit space tourism continue to occur at a rapid pace. However, it is uncertain what form this burgeoning industry will take. Some envisage spaceflight as an extension of commercial aviation, a new transport paradigm that would allow flying from London to New York City in less than an hour. Others argue space tourism will remain a niche, high-adrenaline activity suited to adventurers. Finally, space tou…
The cosmic-local nexus
Humankind is increasingly able to travel into outer space. Launch costs have decreased; launch frequencies have increased. These changes are primarily occurring due to private companies becoming heavily involved in space-related activities. Prior discussions of humankind's growing influence beyond the biosphere have begun elucidating the species-wide benefits and issues that are concomitant with the development of outer space. Yet, spacecraft are…
