The Center for
Space Science and Culture
...how vast those Orbs must be, and how inconsiderable the Earth, the
Theatre upon which all our mighty Designs, all our Navigations, and all our
Wars are transacted, is when compared to them. A very fit Consideration,
and matter of Reflection, for those Kings and Princes who sacrifice the
Lives of so many People, only to flatter their Ambition in being Masters of
some pitiful corner of this small Spot.
Christiaan Huygens, 1698
The Center for Space Science and Culture is a cooperative effort of
Southwest Research Institute Department of Space Studies in Boulder,
Colorado, and the Department of Philosophy and Religion Studies at the
University of North Texas. The center seeks to stimulate renewed reflection
on the ethical, cultural, and philosophic aspects of space policy.
