The Future of Space Exploration: An Ethical Perspective (as FSU McCarthy Center)
7:00pm to 8:30pm -- Framingham State University Arts & Ideas Program *** The Space Age made clear the consequences of living in an interdependent world and gave us new perspectives on planet Earth. One was to address the legacy of colonialism as decolonization. The other was the role of human activity in changing the physical system of the Earth, altering our climate. Dr. Martin Collins from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum invites us to examine how we might make choices as individuals, communities, and nations to resolve the issues before us. *** This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. *** You may register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-future-of-space-exploration-an-ethical-perspective-tickets-68625672233 *** FSU, McCarthy Center Forum, 100 State St., Framingham, MA, 01702
