Politics beyond Earth
Spaceinterface director Darshan Vigneswaran sits down with Lisa Burke on The Space Economy. They ask who really decides how value is shared on the Moon, why lunar geopolitics may be more cooperative than competitive, what colonial history can teach us about space exploration, and what happens to astronaut autonomy when real-time contact with Earth is lost on the way to Mars.
