Starship Enterprises: Why space is the next political battleground

Space – the final frontier, and the next political battleground? As nations compete for dominance and resources, Andrew Harrison is joined by Tim Marshall, author of The Future of Geography: How Power and Politics in Space Will Change Our World, to discuss how this might go beyond the confines of earth.

• “I was going to say the world is our oyster, but the universe is.”
• “If one country controls low earth orbit… they would be the gatekeeper of who could go out into space and beyond.”
• “The space industry will be worth a trillion dollars before 2030.”
