DESCRIPTION:College of the Atlantic\, Bar Harbor\, Maine \nThe Summer Institute July 31 – August 4\, 2023 \nReimagining Exploration \nKSR session: \n\n\nName \nSpace: Our Last Great Commons \n  \nDate & Time \nTuesday\, 1 August 2023\, 17:00 – 18:15 \n  \nDescription \nWhen a satellite dies in orbit\, it remains in orbit as a piece of cosmic trash\, careening around the planet\, sometimes at the speed of a bullet. Meanwhile\, new satellites or technological objects that we depend on down here on Earth are launched into space all the time\, creating more debris\, risking collision\, and ultimately polluting our orbital commons. Tracking these objects\, preventing their collision\, and charting a course toward a more sustainable space is the work of Moriba Jah\, astrodynamicist\, National Geographic Explorer\, and MacArthur Fellow. Renowned science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson will lead a conversation with Moriba about what this challenge means to humanity and how we can extend our environmental ethic beyond our atmosphere and into the near-Earth orbital zone.  \nSpeakers \nKim Stanley Robinson\nMoriba Jah \n  \nLocation Name \nSummer Institute Tent \n  \nFull Address \nCollege of the Atlantic\n105 Eden St\nBar Harbor\, ME 04609\nUnited States \n\nEvent page \nEvent recording (YouTube)
