Dominance in Space: The Struggle for Global Leadership Beyond Earth

If once space was something distant and unknown, today it has become an instrument of competition among world powers and a field of activity for state and private companies, which see economic benefits, material resources, and global advantages for the future in its exploration. Satellite technologies have penetrated even those areas that seemed infinitely distant from the space industry. Innovative technologies in agriculture, insurance analytics, Earth monitoring systems, economic forecasting, and high-frequency trading in financial markets—all these areas can no longer exist without satellite data.

Emilio Cozzi talks about the fundamental events that throughout history have brought space closer, about the costly and risky space programs, as well as what prospects await us in the exploration of extraterrestrial space in the future and how all this impacts the economy and politics on Earth.
