Welcome to the next installment of our continuing study of the colonial cosmology and its interplay with unverifiable fictions in modern times. In this live presentation, we focus on some recent selected examples and videos for analyzing the claims the sources make. We offer critical insights into the complex relationship ways of understanding the cosmos.

SOURCES UNDER FOCUS:
Chandrayaan-3’s Lunar Journey: As we follow Chandrayaan-3’s mission to reach the Moon1, we analyze the claim that this space endeavor represents a significant milestone in India’s space exploration efforts. We examine the technology employed to explore the lunar surface and the potential scientific breakthroughs this mission may lead to.
Intimacy in Space: The study proposing the possibility of intimate interactions for space tourists beyond the Karman line is the subject of our scrutiny2. We critically assess the claims regarding the physiological and psychological implications of such experiences in microgravity, and the ethical considerations surrounding this topic.
NASA’s Satellite Swarm Missions: We delve into NASA’s ambitious missions, where swarms of satellites are launched to study rogue planets, the tropics, and beyond3. We analyze the claims surrounding the significance of these missions in advancing our understanding of the universe and their potential contributions to climate science.
NASA’s Starling Mission – Autonomous Invasion: Within NASA’s Starling mission, a swarm of satellites navigates through space4. Our analysis centers on the claims of the implications, advantages, and potential concerns regarding the deployment of autonomous satellite technology on such a scale.
Chinese Astronauts’ Spacewalk: Witnessing the first-ever spacewalk outside the new Tiangong space station, we scrutinize the significance and claims surrounding this historic milestone5. We explore the advancements in China’s space program and its implications for future human space exploration.
UAE Astronaut’s Space Dart Game: We examine the lighthearted moment in space as UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi plays space darts aboard the International Space Station6. Our analysis touches on the portrayal of human adaptability and the representation of astronauts’ daily lives in space.
Throughout this video, we maintain a critical approach, focusing on the claims made within the selected examples to understand the broader implications and narratives of the colonial cosmology and unverifiable fictions in our cosmic pursuits.
