In \u003cem\u003eSpace XX\u003c\/em\u003e, she talks to almost 1000 pioneering women, men, trans, and non-binary people – from astronauts to engineers to ethicists – from Australia’s first female astronaut to its Space Agent One, from the US Space Force to NASA – uncovering a story of inequality, exclusion, and denigration of women in STEM. She also charts a better way forward: practical, evidence-based ideas for a world that allows all humanity to flourish, informed by First Nations, feminist, and futures thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBack in the 1960s, the Moon landing became ‘one small step for man’.
