Cohosts and space lawyers M.C. Sungaila and Michelle Hanlon discuss the economics of Moon exploration and settlement and the protection of cultural heritage on the Moon with experts Hoyt Davidson and Marlene Losier. Together, they explain what it means for the future of humanity to send people back to the moon and how it intertwines with our collective history. They also discuss the ideal laws to be implemented on the Moon and the entire outer space to ensure the total protection and preservation of its heritage and save it from falling prey to selfish interests.

How can we both explore and maintain the Moon for the next generation and beyond? And how should principles of environmental sustainability on Earth and indigenous conceptions of Nature and the Moon guide our approach to space exploration? Executive Director of the Navajo Nation Justin Ahasteen, interdisciplinary lawyer Giuliana Rotola, and space lawyer Les Tennen explore these and other topics with hosts M.C. Sungaila and Michelle Hanlon.

Cohosts and space lawyers M.C. Sungaila and Michelle Hanlon kick off the Cosmic Counsel podcast with three celebrated authors, philosophers, and scientists -- Frank White, Anthony (AC) Grayling, and Kelly Weinersmith. Together, they explore what it means for humans to become multiplanetary and what kinds of principles and laws should govern settlements on the Moon and beyond. Tune in as they discuss how the things happening in outer space impacts the people on earth, as well as it means to our survival as a race.
