Moral Values and Skills: The Challenges of Space Exploration Practices
Journal Title: Philosophy and Cosmology - Year 2019, Vol 23, Issue
Abstract
The present study examines the problem of moral values arising aboard manned spacecrafts. The authors believe that this problem is due to the transition of modern society to the Information Age. Under the conditions of a space flight, when the vital functions of the crew and passengers of a spacecraft are provided and controlled by information and communication technology, the problem of moral values takes on special significance. Information technology, as well as their applications can be divided into three types. These are technologies that record (store), transmit (communicate) and organize information. The authors studied the features of the influence of each type of information and communication technology on moral values and artistic freedom in the microsocial group of a spacecraft. Solving the problem of moral values aboard a manned spacecraft is a sine qua non for artistic freedom during a space flight, the quality of the tasks associated with the colonization of the outer space and the development of material, energy and information resources of the universe.
