EPISODE #13: HUMANKIND AND RESPONSIBLE SPACE EXPLORATION

Our continued exploration of space is accompanied by profound questions, responsibilities, and obligations. What is our place and ultimate responsibility to the larger universe? Are we just fleeting visitors, or do we become custodians of the celestial bodies we explore? Given human nature are we capable of getting this right? And what is the appropriate response to finding however primitive…life in space? Join a philosopher, an astrobiologist, and a NASA scientist for a far-reaching conversation on these and related issues.
