[Megan Rosenkranz · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found this book while looking for how to introduce the ethics of space exploration to my students. I think this would be a good place to start with succinct chapters, hwoever, it might be overwhelming to even begin looking at this for some of my students. It may become more of an extension assignment or option.
