Le Ministère du futur devrait-il abolir l’exploration spatiale ?
Kim Stanley Robinson a toujours interrogé l’exploration spatiale comme moyen d’émancipation. Mais sur cette aventure extraterrestre, il est devenu de moins en moins optimiste au fil de ses livres. Il croit encore en sa dimension utopique, mais à condition qu’elle devienne modeste et cède la place, en termes de priorité, à la préservation des conditions d’habitabilité de la Terre, au cœur de son dernier roman Le Ministère du futur.
Should the Ministry for the Future Ban Space Exploration?
Kim Stanley Robinson has always questioned space exploration as a means of emancipation. But as his books have progressed, he has become less and less optimistic about this extraterrestrial adventure. He still believes in its utopian dimension, but on condition that it becomes modest and gives way, in terms of priority, to preserving the conditions of habitability of the Earth, at the heart of his latest novel The Ministry for the Future.
