The Humans & Space capability brings together a cross-disciplinary group of researchers and educators engaging with the political, economic and socio-cultural dimensions of ongoing advances into outer space. Drawing on a breadth of expertise including business, media, psychology, economics, archaeology, anthropology, education and the creative arts, we address key space-related challenges and opportunities: from the governance and security of orbital infrastructures and the development of launch and logistics systems to the prospects of tourism, resource extraction and living and working off-Earth, alongside the broader implications of space endeavour for life on Earth. Our work seeks to develop integrated, ethical approaches to space and society that engage with policy and practice across government, industry and community.
