Space Ethics and Moon Settlements

Brian Green, director, technology ethics, featured on an episode of Kainaat Astronomy in English podcast.

Brian Green, director, technology ethics and author of "Space Ethics" and Salman Hameed, PhD, Professor of Integrated Science & Humanities at Hampshire College and CEO of the non-profit Kainaat Studios discuss some of the ethical questions that we must address regarding settlements on the Moon.

"The moon is going to set the tone for the rest of exploration. Right now I think that humanity has set a pretty good tone for our interaction with outer space. We’ve done a lot of great science, and we’ve done a lot of great technological exploration, so the tone I think is good right now. But then money is starting to get involved now, and as money gets involved, the intentions are going to become less pure."
