In Paris today for the next two days for this interesting conference that brings together astrophysicists, international lawyers and political philosophers to discuss who owns the Moon and Outer Space, freedom of scientific exploration and common heritage of humankind.

Michela Massimi @michelamassimi.bsky.social · Sep 9

Look forward to speaking soon at the Collège de France for a conference on Outer Space Treaty and Moon Agreement — I will go back to the principle of common heritage of humankind, and against neo-colonialist interpretations I argue for a human-rights approach to it.

I was sort of a regular between 2012-2017 then they somehow dropped quite a bit the HPS coverage in terms of topics, I must say (the previous editor was very interested in HPS and went on to pursue a different career path as a historian of medicine eventually).

Oh thank you Anna! Nice to see this episode from 2012 remembered — I did 4 episodes back in the old days (on scientific method, on Berkeley, on Pauli and on Pascal). This is my favourite:
