  Can we do better in space than we've done here on Earth? 
   
   
   
  We've pinpointed the destination, refined the technology, designed the habitat. Are we forgetting something? A timely reminder that it's not just rocket science, this book explores the all-too-human issues raised by the prospect of settling in outer space. Accordingly, her work highlights the complex ethical challenges that accompany any other-worldly venture—questions about the environment, labor rights, and medical ethics, among others. 
   
   
   
  Any such venture, Nesvold contends, must be made on behalf of all humanity, with global input and collaboration. Off-Earth thus includes historical and contemporary examples from outside the dominant Western/US, abled, and privileged narrative of the space industry. Nesvold calls on experts in ethics, sociology, history, social justice, and law to launch a hopeful conversation about the potential ethical pitfalls of becoming a multi-planet species—and, ideally, to shed light on similar problems we presently face here on Earth. 
   
   
   
  Space settlement is rapidly becoming ever more likely. Will it look like the utopian vision of Star Trek? Or the dark future of Star Wars? Nesvold challenges us to decide.

  Black Space Chronicles - The...

  The concept of the void, or the space beyond what we can observe, has captivated astronomers and philosophers alike for centuries. Often referred to as “Black Space,” this region exists beyond the boundaries of visible light, where the naked eye and even some of the most powerful telescopes fail to penetrate. It is a realm of absolute darkness, yet it is filled with unknown energies and phenomena that scientists are only beginning to understand. The mystery of this vast emptiness is not just about the absence of light but also about the unknown forces at play in this cosmic dark zone. 
  At its core, the void is home to dark matter and dark energy, two of the most elusive and fundamental components of the universe. Though invisible, dark matter exerts gravitational forces that can affect the movement of galaxies, holding them together in a way that cannot be explained by visible matter alone. Dark energy, on the other hand, is believed to be responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe. Together, these forces make up approximately 95% of the universe’s total mass-energy content, yet remain undetectable by current technology. 
  The void is not empty in the traditional sense. Instead, it is filled with mysterious phenomena that defy our understanding of space. Black holes, for instance, are a prominent feature of the void, with gravitational forces so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape them. These cosmic giants consume anything that comes too close, distorting space and time in ways that challenge our fundamental understanding of physics. Other objects, like neutron stars and supernova remnants, contribute to the strange and often violent dynamics of the void.
