Who Gets to Own the Moon: America? China? Everyone? The Billionaires?
from The Best Paragraph I've Read... · host Zac & Don
The Best Paragraph I've Read: “Via the Artemis Accords, we hope that the future will look a lot more like “Star Trek,” and a lot less like “Star Wars” by getting ahead of these issues.” This paragraph comes from a Reuters article. The article discusses the recent Artemis Accords that America has proposed concerning who gets to use the Moon and low earth orbit. You can read the full article here: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-space-exploration-artemis/star-trek-not-star-wars-nasa-releases-basic-principles-for-moon-exploration-pact-idUSKBN22R2Z9 Zac and Don discuss whether the proposed rules of the accords are fair for all people on earth. They wonder whether the accords will allow individual rights to transcend the rights of a nation. They also discuss whether the future of space can be different than the current human reality on earth. Finally, there is discussion on whether thinking about future issues in space is just a waste of time.
