Oxford Smart Space - Access to space: who, what, when and why?
Access to space is a moral, economic, security, sustainability and ethical issue – are we asking the right questions to explore and form markets?

It’s well past time to start asking ourselves the big hard questions about space. Who is space actually for? What will we bring with us from earth – literally and figuratively? Who goes in the first waves and how do we decide? Will we put forth the best of ourselves? Can we learn fast enough to save Earth?

Laura Anne Edwards, NASA Datanaut and core member of the Oxford Space Initiative has selected a panel of speakers to address these very questions and will be encouraging the audience to input their suggestions too.
