Our Giant Leap Podcast Ep.23: Creating Space To Belong: Pride, Identity And the Future Of Space
The Diversity and Gender Equality Project Group at SGAC brings together researchers, advocates, and changemakers, each contributing their own perspective to the pursuit of a more equitable space sector. This Pride Month, we reflected that conviction by spotlighting one of our own member, Hunter Moore from the FIGURES project, one of the research teams within our Project Group to discuss identity, representation, and the work that sits at the intersection of both.Together, they explore the importance of visibility, the role of research in understanding diversity gaps in aerospace, and how initiatives like FIGURES contribute to building a more inclusive future for the space community. Through personal reflections and professional insights, this conversation highlights why creating space for everyone matters not only for individuals, but for the future of the sector itself.
Tangible Outcomes and Key Takeaways:
1. Every individual brings a unique identity, perspective, and lived experience that deserves to be recognized and valued.
2. Not every story needs to be extraordinary to matter. Everyday experiences are equally important because they shape how people navigate and experience the world.
3. As the space sector continues to grow through the New Space economy, it is attracting people from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and identities. The space sector is a human-centered industry that creates space for people to bring their authentic selves to their work.
4. Conversations about identity can sometimes be difficult, but they also create opportunities for understanding, acceptance, and support. Inclusion is a shared responsibility that requires openness, empathy, and continuous learning.
5. The space sector thrives on international, interdisciplinary, and intercultural collaboration. Embracing diverse perspectives and experiences strengthens innovation, challenges outdated assumptions, and helps build a more inclusive future for the global space community.
