| Summary: | Environmental protection principles finding their way into theology do not stop at the edge of our Solar System. Exoplanets orbiting other stars will be visited in the future and will require environmental protections, along with attention to species protections of human crew and any life forms that explorers encounter. This analysis introduces a biblical model for leaving our Solar System, a biological model for morality arising in other biologies, and a philosophical model for the meeting and merging of interstellar civilizations. Advances in warp propulsion systems are reviewed, along with the advances of signal detection, toward the end. |
