This paper examines how Jewish philosophical sources frame the ethics of space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life. In the 1960s, a NASA scientist, Prof. Velvl Greene, sought guidance from a prominent Jewish rabbinic leader on the search for extraterrestrial life. The Rabbi's response was unequivocal: the scientist must continue looking, for to stop would be to "limit the Creator." This paper explores Jewish themes in space ethics and extraterrestrial life, highlighting conflicting responses in Jewish sources. It emphasises that Judaism doesn't reject science but emphasises duty: scientists should seek the "greater good" of knowledge, while individuals must not ignore suffering for stargazing. Ethical failure stems not from individuality but from neglecting responsibility. The crux of the paper juxtaposes communal versus individual roles in space exploration. The builders of the Tower of Babel sought to "reach the heavens" and "make a name" for themselves, yet remained nameless. Individuality was erased: a fallen brick was mourned, but a fallen worker was ignored. Their sin wasn't technological ambition but a collective purpose justifying their means. Individuality was crushed, and those seeking to settle the heavens were dispersed. Warmongers were transformed into nonhumans, and the idolaters' language was confused. This text can be understood as a symbol for the moral evaluation of communal and individual ethics in the exploration beyond planet Earth. Applied to the Space Race, this framework suggests that Jewish ethics doesn't regard extraterrestrial exploration as the problem but rather the intent behind it. Space missions should be judged not only by scale or success, but also by their purposeful intent to serve the public good. Jewish philosophy recognises individuals who act with intention, contributing to the collective with technological responsibility.
