Digging in: Should we mine in space?
The business of space is booming: Humans are leaving Earth’s atmosphere to mine for precious minerals that could bring trillions of dollars in profit. But with only a handful of laws currently regulating the final frontier, will space mining deepen existing global inequalities or could it save humanity?
Alice Gorman, space archaeologist, says space is for all humanity, but right now space mining isn’t focused on sustainability or moral responsibility. She argues that greater government oversight is necessary before we commercialize space. Jose Acain, co-founder of asteroid mining company AstroForge, says space mining is necessary to sustain Earth’s supply issues. He argues that government regulation is needed in regards to space ownership, but worries that too much regulation will stifle potential advancements. Watch Doha Debates Podcast as these experts discuss the best way to explore space, mitigate mining risks and build a better future.
This special episode is inspired by Necessary Tomorrows, a podcast from Doha Debates and presented by @aljazeeraenglish that combines fiction and fact to imagine better futures. To dig deeper into the core issues and ethics of space exploration and cultivation, check out the episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jsI5lB5G1A. Listeners are thrust into the near future, where an asteroid is discovered with enough minerals for Earth to run entirely on green energy.
