The world was characterized by free trade, geopolitical stability, supply chain efficiency (vs resiliency), reliable sources of energy and low interest rates (i.e. debt-fueled growth). This is no longer the case. The race for global influence is more important than ever before.
How will a new era in space technology impact global economics, geo-politics and defense:
- Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTs)
- Collapse of launch costs driven by reusable spacecraft
- Vast improvements in satellite cost performance has expanded commercial plans
- Product innovation and cost reduction in EO have surpassed many major technologies
- Engineering practices have evolved to reduce costs and increase reliability
- The current space race may be the greatest technological contest of the decade
- China’s progress in developing space technology is unmatched
- Government space spending reaches record levels
- Space is the ultimate high ground and it will inevitably become the next domain for warfare
- New commercial partnerships between space and non-space entities
- How will SpaceX’s Starship change the world?
