https://lnkd.in/gHDsdzxq Join us on January 17th, 9am for this hybrid event hosted by the Bioethics Breakfast Club at Arizona State University. "Join Cheryl Nickerson, SOLS, and Timiebi Aganaba, School for the Future of Innovation in Society at ASU, to explore ethical questions concerning space futures and research in space. Why is space exploration important to do, even as so many problems on Earth deserve our attention (and money)? What do we know about how the human body--including its collection of microorganisms--will behave on longer-term space missions? How is microbiological research informing the protection of astronauts during missions, as well as efforts to prevent forward and backward contamination? What strategies of #governance are being developed for space exploration, and how might those strategies inspire more creative thinking about the governance of more Earthly technologies?"

Genesis Sustainable Future Ltd., supported by the European Space Agency - ESA and known for its leadership in plant space research, is preparing for a unique mission: the first biological space experiment and sample return-to-Earth program offering rideshare options to the public through international partnerships. This mission marks a significant advancement from earlier experiments limited to the International Space Station (ISS), now expanded to include public participation with samples returning to Earth. Scheduled for launch between February and July 2025 from California aboard SpaceX’s #Falcon9 rocket, this mission represents a milestone in accessible-space-exploration services, with pricing starting at $299 per sample/genome. Genesis SFL CEO and founder Dr. Bence Mátyás stated: “When we achieve a milestone within the Genesis, we immediately feel obligated to also serve the public. We are living in the space era; our goal is to provide a gateway to space for everyone.” #commercialspace #CubeSats #GenesisSFL #Inorbittesting #LEO #LifeinSpace #MayaSat1 #NanoSats #samples #spacelife #SpaceResearch #PrivateSpace #commercialspace

Addressing #Anti-#Space Exploration #Sentiment Space science and technology have revolutionized our world, from enhancing weather forecasting to revolutionizing communication. And with satellites serving as our silent sentinels in space, not only do we gain critical insights into weather patterns and facilitate global communication, but we can also monitor environmental changes. Moreover, the ripple effects of space exploration extend far beyond our atmosphere. It would be an understatement to say it has fueled technological advancements and economic opportunities. And these #space_programs and agencies are very costly. It is estimated that the total annual budget of space agencies is $41.8 billion. However, despite the undeniable benefits, critics often raise concerns about the astronomical costs associated with space exploration. However, they fail to grasp the transformative impact of space programs on our daily lives. From the development of #life-#saving technologies via programs like NASA’s #Artemis to the pursuit of #renewable #energy sources by SpaceX, space exploration #catalyzes #innovation and #progress. The pursuit of #space_exploration has led to the creation of groundbreaking technologies with applications in various industries. From digital imaging technology such as high-resolution cameras and sensors (adapted for medical imaging applications) to NASA's water filtration systems and GPS, the #spin-#offs from space programs have revolutionized healthcare, transportation, and beyond. All the more reason why, as the world confronts pressing issues like poverty and #economic unrest, the role of space exploration takes on #new #significance. By investing in the future of #space #exploration, we pioneer scientific discoveries like more durable materials used in #aerospace and automotive industries (product of #ISS’s experiments) and lay the groundwork for a more #sustainable and #equitable future. #Space #exploration isn't just about reaching the stars—it's about #securing the #future of #humanity. By #challenging #misconceptions and #embracing the realities of #innovation, we pave the way for a brighter tomorrow. Join us at Enventure as we take on this path of discovery, fueled by #curiosity and #innovation and united in our quest for a better world. #SpaceExploration #Innovation #FutureFrontiers ANKIT SHRIVASTAVA
