Creating a sustainable Cislunar economy (the Moon, Earth and in between) has emerged as one key focus for a possible integrated science and commercial space economy. During this Webcast an experienced and diverse panel will discuss what a Cislunar economy might actually look like including governance, ethics, cost, business ROI, technology, AI, structure, and time frame. Our guests today include: Kenneth R. Human, Former NASA Attorney, and Vice President Human Space Solutions, Dr. Clinton W. Kelly III, Former Corporate/ Government Engineer, Blue Orgin Astronaut, and Jeffrey Manber, President of International and Space Stations at Voyager Technologies, and Chairman of the Board for Nanoracks. Our moderator is Kris Kimel, Founder Humanity in Deep Space and co-founder of Space Tango. HUMANITY IN DEEP SPACE is a planetary conversation surrounding the pros and cons…the range of interconnected issues and hard challenges facing the human future in space. We convene regularly to discuss a range of topics and opinions, from ethics, governance and international politics to complicated questions of health, food, art, religion, procreation, and the human conditions that MUST be addressed as our species continues its inevitable transition into deep space.
