21: The Ethical Landscape of Terraforming Technologies

What is terraforming? What does it look like? Why should we focus on fixing other planets instead of Earth? What value do we place on other planets' environments? Will humanity destroy another environment?

In the first episode of The Sound of Space Season 3, we investigate terraforming technology and the ethical concerns it sparks, including why we prioritize changing other planets when Earth deals with environmental issues. Come along as we delve into terraforming and the ethical questions it brings up, from our interest in other planets to the importance of preserving untouched space environments.
