ชาบนดวงจันทร์

There are plans for human settlements on the Moon within the next decade. Unlike the Apollo program, this phase of human exploration is expected to be more permanent. This will also likely set a precedence of values and laws for future human explorations of Mars and beyond. There is much to be excited about the possibility of humans becoming an inter-planetary species. However, we must be thoughtful about not repeating humankind’s history of colonialism and unchecked exploitation of natural resources. It is therefore critical to evaluate what kind of values and ethics we associate with this next phase of human space exploration. Chai on the Moon is a set of in-depth interviews about space policy, ethics, and societal challenges associated with the upcoming human presence on the Moon.
