Abstract

The following discusses enclosure, disimagination, and Ethnofuturism to problematise futures of asteroid mining: highlighting how popular NSE discourses draw upon a Eurocentric rendition of a 'Grand Historical Narrative'. Through this, we may begin to challenge the totalising concept of 'humanity' oft-invoked by asteroid mining advocates and turn a more critical lens to these purported futures and the discourses (re)created to justify them.
