The Big Picture

The lunar far side has enormous potential for many fields, and it holds unique promise for cosmology…but the same technological advances that promise to make the Moon more accessible for their experiments will also make the environment more crowded. More than 250 Moon missions are expected over the coming decade…that will add up to a $100B ‘lunar economy,’ and upcoming boom in lunar exploration could put the last unspoilt refuge in the Solar System at risk.

“This patch of desert, more than 100 miles from the nearest town, sits next to the biggest problem that green hydrogen could help solve: vast iron ore mines that are full of machines powered by immense amounts of dirty fossil fuels. Three of the world’s four biggest ore miners operate dozens of mines here.” (New York Times)

“The right to cognitive liberty protects our right to self determination over our brains and mental processes. It includes the right to be free from manipulation by others, but also the right to resist manipulation and reclaim our brains. Building resilience to tactics that shortcut our thinking will help us exercise this right. But freedom of thought should not be used as an excuse for filtering that information for us.” (WIRED)
