About
What is the relationship between space and religion?
Religious Space explores the relationship between religious/spiritual practice and space exploration. This project contributes to an inclusive and sustainable space future because religion and collective spiritual meaning-making is a powerful force in international culture and is often ignored in the academic and technology oriented world of space exploration. If we’re to imagine a beautiful multi-cultural space future, religion is going to be a part of it.
