Space debris is part of almost every topic surrounding activities in outer space, yet despite its prevalence in the discussion, both the threat of damage and the lack of progress in mitigating it continues to grow. In light of the recent lawsuit involving a Florida family requesting that NASA pay for damage caused by a piece of space junk landing on their house, questions about the future of space debris mitigation.

Moderated by Beyond Earth’s Executive Vice President, Courtney Stadd, this Webinar brings together prominent subject experts who will focus on the nature of the data that make up the current global space market analysis, the nature of future forecasts, including what is behind the methodology. We will also discuss to what extent these forecasts should be trusted in terms of guiding investment strategies by the capital markets, as well as the government which is increasingly relying on the commercial space sector as a critical partner and customer.

Long-term human space migration has always been tempered by the challenge of a microgravity environment. This webinar, moderated by BE’s Senior Technical Advisor, Steve Hoeser, will focus on the pathways forward for mitigating the effects of microgravity. Panelists will discuss the value of revisiting investigations into spin gravity as an avenue to address the microgravity problem.

The Beyond Earth Institute proudly presents "What Will It Take To Build Communities In Space" moderated by Steve Wolfe, President and Co-Founder of Beyond Earth.  For many space advocates, the ultimate goal of human space exploration and development is the eventual creation of large, thriving, self-sustaining in-space communities and the beginning of an off-world civilization. This Beyond Earth Webinar will take a serious look at the challenges of constructing large-scale space habitats. Speakers will discuss the technical and cost barriers, as well as the policies that could help accelerate critical capabilities. We’ll also ask the important question of “why” we should want to extend human civilization beyond Earth at all.

The Beyond Earth Institute proudly presents "Sacred Skies: Integrating Diverse Spiritual Perspectives in Space Policy," moderated by Lauren Andrade, Director of Marketing and Communications at Beyond Earth.  The fact is that a diverse spectrum of private space ventures are pursuing a range of activities on the Moon's surface. And they are doing so as companies exercise their constitutionally protected prerogatives. This webinar seeks to bridge the gap between the technical advancements in space exploration and the rich mosaic of human spiritual and cultural traditions.

The future of humanity's exploration into the depths of the solar system may be powered by a well-known, but as of yet only marginally utilized, technology: nuclear.
