On Tuesday (September 26), a thinktank called the Beyond Earth Institute (BEI) hosted a webinar featuring a panel of space industry experts discussing issues affecting how, when, and how well humans can travel to, live, and work in space in the decades to come. The institute researches and advocates for policies and legal frameworks designed to facilitate the migration of the human species off planet Earth, a mission reflected in the title of the webinar: “Policy Pathways Toward Space Migration.”
