Abstract
ABSTRACTThrough an investigation of popular culture sources focused on our relationship with space exploration, this essay asks if and how we might go about traveling off‐planet in an ethical way. Moving from a reading of Georges Méliès' silent film, A Trip to the Moon (1902), to the history of the Soviet space program, to contemporary plans to colonize the moon and Mars, questions of the value of science and discovery are juxtaposed with questions of racism, speciesism, environmentalism, and social justice.
