We will familiarize ourselves with ethical issues raised in outer space: both current issues -- such as space debris, geopolitical conflicts, or contamination in space exploration -- as well as upcoming issues -- such as ownership rights in space, asteroid mining, or human settlements. We will also examine what humanity can learn from its failures and successes on Earth and, conversely, how the horizon of outer space changes our perspective on sustainability "down here".
