Dr Alina Utrata on Silicon Valley and space colonisation

Traditionally, the global commons — like Antarctica, the deep oceans, and outer space — have been viewed as belonging to everyone. But today, powerful technology companies and Silicon Valley billionaires are increasingly interested in space, raising new questions about ownership, influence, and power? 🚀 In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Alina Utrata from St John’s College, University of Oxford to explore this further. This interview is perfect for A Level and GCSE Geography students, this discussion links to key topics including Globalisation, Global Governance, and Resource Security — and is equally relevant for Politics/ Economics students exploring power, sovereignty, and the role of technology in global affairs. 🎓 Discussion Questions: 1️⃣ Why are Silicon Valley billionaires so interested in space? 2️⃣ What is space colonisation, and how does it mirror historical examples? 3️⃣ How might space colonisation connect to indigenous dispossession? 📖 Further Reading: 🔗 Boston Review: “Lost in Space” - https://www.bostonreview.net/articles...
