Space ethics

Space ethics are about the ethical implications of space flight. It involves contemporary issues such as protection of the space environment,[1] particularly space debris mitigation, or the militarization of space. More theoretical issues are the ethics of space colonization[2] or the ethics of terraforming. The issues are often discussed as elements of broader issues such as general environmental protection and imperialism.[3]
