OUTER SPACE
6.00–7.15pm, Monday 25 October
The space race is back, and this time its personal. But does it matter that instead of warring nations, this time it’s being led by tech billionaires and entrepreneurs? Can we justify its ecological impact? Is it worth the risk? And is this the future of humanity, or just another step towards our demise? We discuss the philosophical, ethical, and anthropological questions behind space exploration.
