Outline and Purpose of the Course Human space activities can be defined as an activity to construct human societies in space. In order to do that, we will need human spaceology: a new integrated science to connect humans, time and the universe. Human spaceology introduces four different evolution processes: Time-the Universe (evolution of the universe), Time-Humans (evolution of life and civilization), and Humans-Space (evolution of space technology). Constructing societies in space involves not only natural sciences but also human and social sciences. In the series of the lectures and exercises, students will learn what we will need to construct sustainable societies in space. As students not only from natural sciences but also from human and social sciences are given a chance to find a relationship between their major fields and Human Spceology, they will be able to define the new meanings and find new directions for their research.
Course Goals The goal of the course is to understand the true meanings of human expansion into space and to study whether and how it is possible to construct sustainable human societies in space by integrating a wide range of different sciences such as human spaceology, space environmental engineering, space life science, space primatology, space anthoropology, space engineering, space medicine, and space law.
