“From the moment early humans carved boats to cross rivers and oceans, the drive to master nature and overcome its limits have propelled our greatest leaps. That same spirit and ambition are now focussed on space – the next great frontier for humanity to cross. In reaching beyond Earth, we are not just defying gravity – we’re also continuing a timeless quest to turn the unknown into the known. … it would be extremely cynical to regard this simply as a pissing-contest between two billionaires. There is much more at stake than mere profits or egos, and who can boast the biggest rocket booster (which Musk is winning hands-down at present). Space exploration might be a business opportunity, but it has also become the new frontier of geopolitics.” (05/20/25)
