Notes

As a developing space nation, Nigeria (through agencies like NASRDA) is increasingly involved in the global space dialogue. This article is locally relevant because it shifts the conversation from hardware (satellites) to humanity (culture and law). It highlights the need for African perspectives in defining "Space Law" and "Space Culture". If governance in space is being designed now, your article argues for a diverse definition of "home" that includes your local cultural values, ensuring the "culture of tomorrow" isn't defined solely by current space superpowers.
