With his particular questioning style, Jacques Arnould takes us on a
journey through the history of space exploration and utilisation from a
multidisciplinary perspective. This book deals with philosophical and
societal questions, national and international policy, legal and
responsibility aspects. By asking the right questions, Jacques helps us
understand many of the questions most humans ask themselves about why,
what, for whom, for how long and how humanity will (or should) expand
its presence in and benefit from outer space. The French CNES is the
first space agency that decided to employ an expert in the ethics of
space activities, and the International Space University and the
University of South Australia are the only where space ethics is
regularly taught in its programs as part of its unique multidisciplinary
curricula.
