Tardigrades on the moon is not good. It is not exciting. It is not cute. It is the result of a major gap in accountability for planetary protection and ethics between public and private science, and we have no idea what can happen as a result.

— the premise is the same. It’s colonialism. It’s imperialism. It’s not for us. And if our science carries on under the same institutions of imperialism, in the name of the same government and not for all of humanity, it is not science. No matter what you call it.

And yes I am aware there’s literal human shit on the moon, and there are portions where it is contaminated, just like Mars. But that doesn’t give us license to colonize. It gives us something to create new protection and ethics policy off of.

Ok y’all we have OFFICIALLY gotten to the point of white dudes – yes, JUST white dudes so far! – telling a biology-based planetary scientist about the barrenness of the moon and how they resent the use of the term colonialism like that totally isn’t what they’re all about!

Not to cut your explanation short, but do you realize that there are gazillion-zillion galaxies and stars and planets out there and this act and the worse that we can do is still nothing multiplied by null, Universe-wise? And Nature don't give a shxt obliterating planets&stars?

It's highly reasonable to assume that a NASA Astrobiologist has a very firm understanding of the size of the universe, yes.

If we do not bring our values to new worlds, are you suggesting we leave the worlds valueless? What are you trying to protect, exactly?

If you're okay with me asking, do you have any articles where you expand on how you feel about humans creating their own habitats/literally colonizing other worlds? My takeaway from this thread is that you're against it and I'd like to read into the reasoning if that's the case
