坚果国王:为什么人类太空定居首先是有争议的?
The nutshell kings: Why is human space settlement controversial in the first place?
摘要:
近年来,太空计划的复兴主要是由私营企业日益增长的兴趣推动的,但也在几个层面上出现了对人类太空活动的强烈抵制。这在一定程度上是一种更广泛的反启蒙时代精神的表现,在西方公共生活的其他领域也可以发现这种精神,在一定程度上也是对私营部门广泛参与的反应。虽然它仍然没有主导关于空间问题的讨论,但空间怀疑主义是一种令人惊讶的广泛和分散的现象,聚集了从支持启蒙运动的自由主义者到狂热的"深层生态学"活动家到哲学悲观主义者到各种肤色的反全球主义者的各种思想。然而,到目前为止,积极反对这种文化趋势的方式很少。虽然空间工程师和企业家进行他们的"业务照常",有过多的风险隐藏在这种文化氛围,特别是如果一个人采用了很多重复(很少充分理解)的格言,"政治是文化的下游。本文将回顾这场大帐篷文化运动中的主要思想,为空间怀疑论者提供合理的反驳,并概述需要做的重要文化和公共宣传工作,以平衡规模。
英文摘要:
Recent years have seen both a revival of space programs, mostly propelled by private industry's increasing interest, but also the emergence of strong resistance to human space activities on several levels. This is partly a manifestation of a wider counter-Enlightenment Zeitgeist, as detectable in other sectors of public life in the West, and partly a reaction against the widespread engagement of the private sector. While it still does not dominate the discourse on space issues, space skepticism is surprisingly wide-ranging and decentralized phenomenon, gathering together heterogeneous strands of thought from pro-Enlightenment liberals to rabid "deep ecology" activists to philosophical pessimists to antiglobalists of all colors. There has been precious little in way of actively opposing this cultural trend so far, however. While space engineers and entrepreneurs conduct their "business as usual", there are plethora of risks hidden in this cultural climate, esp. if one adopts much repeated (and rarely adequately understood) maxim that "politics is downstream of culture." The present article will review major strands of thought within this big tent cultural movement, offer plausible counter-arguments to space skeptics, and outline important cultural and public-outreach work which needs to be done to balance the scales.
