Abstract
Military Work by Space Exploration Organizations: A Barrier to Inclusion and Safe Workspaces for Marginalized Communities
Highlights
“...the perspective of space exploration gives us the ability to see Earth and humanity as one, but some of the technology simultaneously threatens to doom our civilization
This paper responds to the Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey 2023-2032 topic of “The state of the profession including issues of diversity, inclusion, equity, and accessibility, the creation of safe workspaces, and recommended policies and practices to improve the state of the profession”
We focus on the impact of the US space science industry's involvement with the US military-industrial complex (MIC) on marginalized space science workers and students
Summary
A total of 29 responses to the form were received spanning various education and career levels, ethnicities, genders, religious affiliations and, citizenships. We observed three emergent themes in the responses: (1) the extent of MIC ties to space science job opportunities; (2) effects on recruitment and retention; (3) the impact on mental health
