Moriba Jah
Saving Gaia: Earth-Space Environmentalism
Mahon Hall
3pm. Saturday, February 1st
Tickets available HERE
With more nations developing space programs and more billionaires rushing to join Elon Musk in the industrialization of Earth’s orbit, we suddenly face the prospect of a ‘tragedy of the commons’ in outer space.
What role can a science-informed, carefully regulated approach to the development of Earth’s orbit have in protecting and nourishing the planet?
Moriba Jah describes himself as a celestial steward with a mission to preserve a safe, prosperous and sustainable Earth-space environment.
As an astrophysicist, TED Fellow and National Geographic Explorer, Jah publicly promotes the safe, peaceful and sustainable use of outer space and the need for a global, accessible and transparent space traffic management system.
Moriba Jah is a powerful, inspirational, interdisciplinary speaker who reaches a global audience.
Join us for an evening of enlightenment on the health of the Earth-space environment – of Gaia – and what we can do to save it.
Here is a clip of Moriba Jah talking about himself
