A new podcast exploring the environmental, scientific and cultural significance of the Moon has been released by the University of Exeter’s No one’s Moon project.

The first episode brings together experts from across science and the humanities to discuss the growing number of activities planned for the Moon, including resource extraction, construction and tourism, and the potential consequences for the lunar environment and the Earth.

No one’s Moon is an interdisciplinary project led by the University’s Dr Suzanne Conway, bringing together researchers in astrobiology, planetary science, climate science and Indigenous heritage to consider how the Moon could be protected from potentially harmful space activities.
In the first episode, Dr Conway is joined by Dr Arwen Nicholson, Professor Martin Siegert and Professor Jamie Hampson to discuss why greater public debate and international cooperation may be needed as activity in space increases. Watch and listen below.

The first No one's Moon podcast has been funded by Faculty for Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences and a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship.
