Topic: Overview of the New Space Era
Time: Dec 28, 2021 07:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Abstract:
This talk is an overview based on a course I just taught at HKU.
In February 2021, Morgan Stanley projected the space economy will reach US$1.8 trillion by 2040. Synonymous with Commercialization of Space, New Space is rapidly becoming a pillar of the 21st century infrastructure with enormous economic implications. Space is no longer just about scientific explorations but providing solutions to many challenges here on Earth. Entrepreneurs’ role has been instrumental.
Major developments and their economics will be presented.
