Shouldn't we redirect our resources, investments, and innovative spirit toward creating a more sustainable and prosperous world for ourselves and future generations? While space exploration is fascinating, we must question the allocation of millions of dollars toward endeavors like reaching Mars, the Moon, or even the Sun, especially considering the environmental challenges we face on Earth. It might sound bit naive but we should appreciate the innovation which will help the world and depreciate if its against the betterment of this world (directly/indirectly) #InnovationForEarth #Sustainability #ChangeMakers"

"Many of the ESG rating systems, questionnaires, methods of evaluating companies — they frankly don’t apply to the space industry," shares Paul Holdredge, Industrials and Transport Director at BSR. But it may be time for that to change, specifically when it comes measuring and assessing the impact of: • Emissions produced from launching spaceships;  • Space junk that is quickly increasing and floating in Earth’s orbit; and • Potential harm to known or unknown species, along with human/employee rights concerns.

I've been pondering some big questions about the future of space exploration and terraforming Mars. I was also considering the preservation of our own planet at the same time. I'd love to hear your thoughts on a couple of intriguing scenarios. What if we could harness carbon sequestration technologies to make Mars more hospitable for plant life? How might that work? Is it scientifically plausible to transport captured CO2 from Earth to Mars? Would the benefits outweigh the risks and costs? What would be the challenges and ethical considerations in introducing microorganisms that feed CO2 into the Martian ecosystem? While we are in the clouds, how could a project of this scale be financed? public-private partnerships, crowdfunding, or something entirely out of the box? #ThoughtExperiment #TerraformingMars #CarbonSequestration #FutureOfSpace #WhatIf

Japanese space debris removal company Astroscale got a red-carpet welcome at Japanese stock market with heavily oversubscribed IPO and successfully raising $632m.   This puts spot light on making space exploration a more sustainable journey.   Junk is inevitable but building a solution to control is hour of a need as most of the nation’s trying to privatize space industry. Eventually putting a competitive spirit in the industry and increasing the elastic load on space.   This story making me think about how wonderful the business world is that it could able to find its way from a solution creation to maintaining the trash generated during the creation of solution, thus maintaining the loop. #spacedebris #astroscale #spaceexploration #sustainability #businessinspace

🚀Navigating Priorities: A Reflection on Space Exploration and Our Home, Earth🚀 In an era of awe-inspiring space discoveries, it's crucial to contemplate the allocation of resources. While the cosmos beckons with mysteries, our planet, Earth, is grappling with pressing challenges. 🚀 Space Exploration Investment: A Dual Perspective Certainly, space exploration broadens our understanding of the universe, sparking innovation and collaboration. Yet, as stewards of Earth, we must weigh the investment's magnitude against the immediacy of issues here. 🌐 Global Challenges Demand Local Solutions Climate crises, socioeconomic inequalities, and healthcare disparities are stark realities on our home turf. Directing resources toward resolving these concerns can create impactful, tangible change for communities worldwide. 🌍 Our Collective Responsibility Crucially, the funding for space exploration often stems from the collective contributions of taxpayers. Aligning these investments with the urgent needs of the global population, and ensuring equity, is paramount. 💰 Accessibility Beyond Privilege Space exploration should not be an exclusive venture for the elite. Redirecting resources towards Earth-centric solutions ensures that advancements benefit everyone, not just a select few. 🌱 Earth: Our Irreplaceable Home As we marvel at the cosmos, let's anchor our pursuits in preserving and nurturing our irreplaceable home. Sustainable development, climate action, and social justice are endeavors that can unite us in safeguarding our collective future. 🤔 Thoughts for Tomorrow What if, in our quest for the stars, we discover new solutions for our earthly challenges? Balancing our cosmic curiosity with grounded, immediate action can make our shared journey more equitable and sustainable. Let's foster a dialogue—how can we harmonize space exploration and Earth's needs for the benefit of all? #EarthFirst #SpaceExploration #GlobalPriorities #Sustainability #CollectiveResponsibility

The sustainability challenges associated with space exploration and other commercial activities fall into three categories: 1.emissions, 2. space junk and 3. potential harm to known or unknown species, along with human/employee rights concerns. https://lnkd.in/gXui8j9s

Just had this random but interesting thought pop into my mind – what if we could send all our waste into space? 🚀 It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but with the way space exploration is advancing, who knows what's possible in the future?🔮 Imagine if we could zap all that waste away and free up around 150 million square kilometres of space which Landfills occupy. 😱 But let's face it, even if we could, it's not a long-term solution. We've got to get serious about reducing the waste we create.🗑 Because every year, we dump a mind-boggling 2.12 billion tons of waste 😱 And while sending it into space might sound cool, it's a pretty pricey option right now – around $1,550 per kilogram! 💸 What do you think? Could we be shooting our trash into space in the next 10 years? 🌌 #SpaceWasteSolution #ReduceReuseRecycle

The Aqualunar Challenge, backed by Challenge Works, the UK Space Agency, the Canadian Space Agency | Agence spatiale canadienne, and Impact Canada, is taking a leap not just for lunar exploration but for Earth’s sustainability too. With £1.2 million at stake, the challenge is to innovate water purification technologies for lunar ice, which can also revolutionize Earth’s environmental challenges. We would like to connect to individuals, teams, companies or institutions working on the requested potential solution as we hope to have a complementing water disinfection solution that can help to keep the water clean, and store and distribute it for human use without any bacterial, viral or fungal contamination - on earth, in space and on the moon as well. #SpaceTech #Sustainability #Innovation #AqualunarChallenge #WaterPurification #GlobalCollaboration

What an electrifying week it's been for us at TerraEye! 🌍✨ Our site manager, Filip Janasz took the stage at the prestigious Space Resources Week in Luxembourg, not only to illuminate the groundbreaking strides TerraEye is making in mining and environmental monitoring but to dive into an array of pioneering topics that are shaping the future of space exploration and earth observation. In our presentation, we delved into the core of what makes TerraEye stand out: our commitment to advancing mineral exploration and environmental monitoring. By leveraging the latest in satellite technology, we're not just aiming for efficiency and accuracy in mineral discovery; we're also setting new standards in sustainable practices that respect our planet. Engagement was in the air as we exchanged ideas with fellow pioneers, all united by a shared zeal for harnessing the cosmos for Earth's benefit. The enthusiasm and curiosity from the audience were palpable, sparking dynamic discussions that stretched the limits of our imaginations. Our journey at Space Resources Week was a vivid reminder that we're part of an incredible community eager to explore, innovate, and create a sustainable future, with TerraEye leading the charge. The connections forged and the ideas shared have left us more inspired than ever to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible. #SpaceResourcesWeek #TerraEye #Innovation #SpaceTechnology #MiningTechnology #ESRIC

“Sustainability is often an afterthought in space exploration – that needs to change as the industry grows.” Thinking about this piece in The Conversation recently – who remembers when rocket launch debris landed on Australian shores last month? We’ve got to think about the Earth, its atmosphere, and beyond. Give this article a read for more on this! #spaceexploration #sustainability #spacetravel
