Thinking about Values in Astrobiology invites learners to explore the human side of space science. In this activity, participants reflect on questions such as what we value, how we make decisions about exploring other worlds, and how ethics, responsibility, curiosity, and care for life shapes astrobiology. By connecting science with big-picture reflection, the lesson encourages students to think critically about the future of space exploration and our place in the universe.
