The Philosophy of Space

Nick Nielsen

Nick Nielsen talks about the ethical and philosophical aspects of humanities expansion into space. We covered topics ranging from the ethical considerations of the presence of life in the universe, to how independent space-fairing societies would form with unique philosophies, to what space law and a ‘space bill of rights’ might look like.
