Executive summary: Space colonization efforts by SpaceX and NASA are progressing rapidly, presenting a pivotal opportunity to establish ethical norms and governance structures for extraterrestrial societies within the next decade or two.
Key points:
SpaceX and NASA are making significant progress towards Mars colonization and lunar habitation, with potential human presence on Mars within 10 years.
Interplanetary expansion presents both risks and opportunities for establishing new ethical norms and governance systems.
Elon Musk, as the driving force behind SpaceX, has outsized influence on the future of space colonization.
A “declaration of cosmic rights” could help set ethical standards for space exploration and colonization.
The window for influencing the values and structures of extraterrestrial societies is likely to close within the next 10-20 years.
Engaging with key decision-makers in space companies and organizations could have an enormous impact on the future of humanity in space.
