She has collaborated with UNESCO's program on the Contribution of Religions to a Culture of Peace, and with UNICEF on its Education for All program in East Africa. Dr. Mische's numerous publications include: Toward a Global Civilization? The Contribution of Religions. She has received numerous awards andgrants honoring her contributions to peace and global education, including from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Mische contends that what we do in outer space will reflect whether we have learned to tame our capacity for violence and enlarge our capacity for community, for healing, for creating, and for loving. It will reflect whether we have succumbed to our Faustian fascination with the technology of destruction or whether we have learned to develop technology for peaceful, life-enhancing uses such as space-based medical research; satellite monitoring of our land, water, and air systems to control pollution; and early-warning systems for sensitive food and agricultural areas to increase food production and prevent desertification and other ravages that lead to hunger and starvation.
