Ethical considerations for the age of non-governmental space exploration. Abstract:"Mounting ambitions and capabilities for public and private, non-government sector crewed space exploration bring with them an increasingly diverse set of space travelers, raising new and nontrivial ethical, legal, and medical policy and practice concerns which are still relatively underexplored. In this piece, we lay out several pressing issues related to ethical considerations for selecting space travelers and conducting human subject research on them, especially in the context of non-governmental and commercial/private space operations." https://lnkd.in/eipeWr4u

🌌 Transforming Space Governance for the 21st Century 🚀 In my latest blog post, I explore how the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) can rise to meet this challenge. By drawing inspiration from the International Seabed Authority’s governance model, I propose reforms that could turn UNOOSA into a powerful and central regulatory body capable of managing the complexities of modern space activities. 🌍 The goal? To create a fair, centralised, and effective space governance system that benefits all humanity, not just a few key players. If you're passionate about space exploration, sustainability, and international cooperation, I'd love to hear your thoughts. How can we better regulate the rapidly evolving frontier of space? 📖 Read the full post here: https://lnkd.in/ezYp8jsN Let’s shape the future of space together! 🚀✨

THE ONE PEAK STRATEGY Many examples show that to become successful one should start small and diversify over time. Steve Jobs saying ”The Journey is the Award” is so famous. Bonafide combine this with orbiting that takes a space craft higher and higher above the home planet. We also say that ”Rockets Fly in Stages”. Our strategy is built on such assumptions and we have created our own structure for designing INITIATIVES. This is based much on ”Search and Research” that form our AGENDA💫 Programme. The AGENDA💫 Programme result among other things in visions that are used to form the nucleus of the next stage iterating for commercialization. Our other structure negotiate for expanded know-how and a partnering commitment that ideally is formed as a Transformational Strategic Alliance. THE BALANCE OF DEPENDENCE To be successful it is also important to find the right balance of dependence between the parties. Missing this point is missing a win-win business opportunity with a prosperous profile. BONAFIDE is welcoming interested parties for its explorative projection programme that has a cultural mission that make people come together to change cultural norms, policies and systems through their life’s choices as voters and consumers.

🌍 Equity in Space Exploration 🚀 As humanity’s presence in space continues to grow, it is crucial to ensure equitable access to space resources and opportunities for all nations and peoples. Space should be a shared domain, where the benefits and opportunities are accessible to everyone, not just a select few. In a time where space exploration is increasingly driven by private companies and a handful of powerful nations, it’s crucial that we advocate for policies and practices that promote accessibility for everyone. Every nation, regardless of its economic or technological status, should have the opportunity to participate in and benefit from space exploration and the utilization of space resources. Equitable access isn’t just a matter of fairness — it’s essential for fostering global cooperation, driving innovation, and ensuring that space remains a peaceful and sustainable environment for future generations. By prioritizing equity, we can create a more inclusive space industry that reflects the diverse voices and needs of the global community. How can we work together to ensure that space exploration remains a domain where all of humanity has a stake?

Many of my esteemed colleagues have likely heard about #space4antarctic this year! But what exactly is #space4antarctic? 🌟 It is an #initiative aimed at addressing the sustainability challenges facing humankind's future. We are raising awareness of how space activities currently impact Antarctica and, in turn, affect human security and international security. By exploring the connections between space governance and Antarctic activities, we have come to realize that the “space cemetery” located at Point Nemo must be observed under the Liability Convention as well as the Environmental Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty. We need to create new solutions to enhance the sustainability of ecosystems connected to Antarctica, allowing us to generate knowledge and advance as a species while protecting our blue planet, our home. 📝 It is a #research venue: By promoting academic and cross-disciplinary research, we are opening new avenues for global knowledge. Our goal is to achieve a meaningful impact through cutting-edge studies and to expand into new disciplines. We are also focused on bolstering participation from the Global South by involving researchers from developing regions. 📣 It is a #calltoaction: We aim to raise awareness about the crucial role of Antarctica in international security. This involves engaging everyone, without boundaries, in this important journey to improve solutions and decision-making processes based on evidence and education for future generations. We need everyone's talent, support, and creativity for the next significant leap for humankind: protecting our planet and, potentially, learning how to reach celestial bodies! So, get involved and take action! Every effort counts when the goal concerns all of us! 👉🏻 www.space4antarctic.com 👉🏻 Meet Cosmos, the space penguin: https://lnkd.in/eTMQvcsF Stay tuned to our social media channels and support our upcoming initiatives! #followthepenguin European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) Spacely Chile International Astronautical Federation Institut UNIDIR Secure World Foundation United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) Almudena Azcárate Ortega Victoria Samson MISI Universidad de Magallanes Centro de Investigación Dinámica de Ecosistemas Marinos de Altas Latitudes (IDEAL) Universidad de Santiago de Chile Pieter van Beekhuizen Shelli Brunswick Miriam Joy Hemmons Lars Christiansen

With space exploration advancing rapidly and private companies reaching for the stars, it’s time to rethink how we govern and protect this vast frontier. From expanding regulatory frameworks to protecting the space environment, there’s a lot to consider as we shape the future of space governance. In the newest blog post from Lex Stellar, I consider what improvements could be made to outer space governance. Click onto the link below to read more! 💫

The terms ‘holding space’ and ‘spaceholding’ are frequently used throughout the psychedelic landscape. But what does spaceholding mean, really? 🤔 Journalist Mattha Louis Busby explores the concept of spaceholding in the latest article on our blog: the role of the spaceholder, how to do it correctly, and how failing to hold space with care and awareness can lead to undesirable outcomes for psychedelic explorers. 👨🚀 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gmtaAUFP

Let me tell you a little about my Vision for Sunburnt Space Co. Forging New Frontiers, The Aussie Way 🚀 I started Sunburnt Space Co out of a passion for building rockets, ability to build businesses and to think big. It's a bold vision but I want to ensure Australia plays it's part in the future of Space. We've done it before and we can do it again. Take the Aussie passion for exploration and the pioneering spirit that defines Australia to push the boundaries. We have begun with an optimistic goal of launching an Australian-designed and built rocket into space from Australian soil. But we won’t stop there. We want to go further. Here's just a few things we are aiming to do: - Demonstrating our capability: Our first mission, Meggs Jr., is more than just a technical achievement. It's a statement of what Aussie ingenuity can accomplish. - Pioneering Space Exploration: With our sights set on pushing human adventure to new limits, our long-term vision includes supporting public and private space exploration, ultimately enabling human travel to distant worlds. I for one would love to see Jupiter up close before I die. - Simplifying Space Access: We believe that space exploration shouldn't be reserved for a select few. Our mission is to make space more accessible, affordable, and achievable for all. - Inspiring a Nation: We're on a mission to inspire the next generation of Australian engineers, scientists, and space enthusiasts to dream big and reach for the stars. Follow along as we take our first steps into space and work towards a future where space is within everyone’s reach. Together, we can take Australia to the stars and beyond. #SpaceExploration #SunburntSpaceCo
