Scholars Call for Decolonizing Space Exploration
Original: Not ‘Manifest’ but an ‘Inclusive’ Destiny: A Case for Decolonizing Space Exploration
A new essay argues that space exploration should be framed as an 'inclusive destiny' rather than a 'manifest destiny', urging policymakers and space agencies to confront the colonial assumptions embedded in frontier thinking about Mars, the Moon and beyond. The author contends that without such reflection, humanity risks exporting the inequalities and extractive logic of past colonial expansion into outer space governance and settlement debates.
Why now: Renewed debate over space settlement and governance is prompting calls to rethink the colonial language used in space exploration rhetoric
