The Race to Own Outer Space
December 07, 2023
Gene Roddenberry immortalized the phrase, “Space, the final frontier”. The race for the cosmos has dramatically changed from its beginnings back in the 1950s. Since the Space Shuttle program was moth-balled, the industry has been privatized, there are many new participants - corporations and nations vying for “space”. Business Schools, economic development agencies, and incubators all over the country are focused on it. Advances in technology have happened, making the moon just a staging point to get to Mars, and beyond. The treaties that exist about ‘ownership of space’ are written and agreed among nations, not private corporations. The cost of participation is “astronomical."
So much ambition, which drives so many questions. What now? What’s the how? Aren’t there more important issues and places that need this attention and money?
