The Beyond Earth Institute proudly presents "Sacred Skies: Integrating Diverse Spiritual Perspectives in Space Policy," moderated by Lauren Andrade, Director of Marketing and Communications for Beyond Earth. The fact is that a diverse spectrum of private space ventures are pursuing a range of activities on the Moon's surface. And they are doing so as companies exercise their constitutionally protected prerogatives. This webinar seeks to bridge the gap between the technical advancements in space exploration and the rich mosaic of human spiritual and cultural traditions. Featuring discussions with leaders in theology, anthropology, space industry and space law, we will delve into how the diverse spiritual views of humanity, including those of indigenous and minority groups, can be best respected by these upcoming space missions without limiting the progress of the space industry. Join us on Wednesday March 13, from 12:00-1:30pm (ET) for a transformative conversation on the importance of developing inclusive space policies that reverence our shared cosmic heritage.
