Danielle Wood leads the Space Enabled research group at the MIT Media 
Lab, where she works to *tear down the barriers that limit the benefits 
of space exploration to only the few, the rich or the elite*. She 
identifies six technologies developed for space exploration that can 
contribute to sustainable development across the world -- from 
observation satellites that provide information to aid organizations to 
medical research on microgravity that can be used to improve health care 
on Earth. "Space truly is useful for sustainable development for the 
benefit of all peoples", Wood says.
