Space

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is       Douglas Adams

 

The Universe has existed since time began, and even now continues to expand into regions we know nothing about. Questions of ethics arise when we consider how we are treating the space surrounding the Earth and what may or may not exist in deep space.

  • Is there life on other planets?
  • What are the costs of space travel
    • to human life?
    • in financial terms?
    • to the environment both within and outside the Earth's atmosphere?
  • Are any of the explanations of origins of Universe better than the others?
