Reclaiming Space

Abstract

Abstract DDB DDDD“Reclaiming Space: On Hope in a Jar, a Bear in the Sky, and the Running Red Queen” provides an anthropologist’s perspective on the overall theme of the Reclaiming Space volume. The chapter describes how “reclaiming space” will be a multigenerational effort, not a moment, requiring persistence and acceleration of efforts toward multilateralism and inclusion for space governance. We live in a time of climate change, ecological grief, and cultural losses, all of which reverberate through our engagements with space and efforts to find new meanings in a rapidly changing sky. If we can think together as citizens of the solar system, as some of us do about challenges of co-existence, stewardship, and future-building on Earth, perhaps the stars can still be our guides.
