The new space race is well underway—fueled by headlines about private space stations, lunar colonies, and interplanetary commerce. But how much of this is technically possible today, how much is decades away, and how much is pure science fiction? While space has become a playground for private investment and national prestige, it’s also becoming a critical part of our digital, political, and economic infrastructure.
This webinar brings together experts in aerospace engineering, space policy, and cybersecurity to offer a clear-eyed look at what’s real and what’s not. We’ll separate the facts from the hype, explore who’s writing the rules of engagement beyond Earth, and examine whether the systems we’re building off-planet can be trusted to support us back on Earth.
Key questions we’ll explore:
What aspects of the space race are actually achievable today—and which ones are overhyped?
Who is establishing ownership and governance in space, and how are these decisions made?
Can we secure space systems before they become single points of failure for life on Earth?
By attending, you can begin to learn:
Space Innovation, Unfiltered: What’s real, what’s speculative, and how to understand the pace and limits of progress.
The State of Space Governance: A look at how ownership, regulation, and power dynamics are being defined in orbit.
The Cybersecurity Front Line: Understanding the vulnerabilities of space-based systems and their impact on Earth-bound infrastructure.
Why You Should Attend:
This session goes beyond the headlines to deliver a reality check on space innovation. Whether you’re in tech, policy, or just curious about space and space exploration, you’ll walk away with a grounded understanding of where we are, where we’re going, and what needs attention now—before science fiction becomes our blind spot.
