About this deal

And we need to understand it fast if we’re to avoid history repeating itself, because “each time humanity has ventured into a new domain it has brought war with it”. Marshall reminds us how shipbuilding and aerospace gave us warships and fighter jets. For him, the mushrooming space technology sector is unlikely to follow a different trajectory. The “battlefield” as he calls it, is beginning to take shape: “tensions are already surfacing surrounding hotspots” such as Moon bases. This is a Theatre and livestreamed event, where the speaker and audience in our Theatre are joined by an online audience. You will have priority access to the recorded video for two weeks after the event has taken place. The race for dominance in space is shaping the future of humanity. From the discovery of space metals worth more than most countries' GDP, to the possibility of humans on Mars within the next decade. This talk will examine the cosmic strides Russia, China and the United States have made and what it means for the rest of us on Earth.

These tensions arise not just from geopolitics, but also from a parallel commercial imperative: “There’s money to be made in space, and people are out to get it.” So if you’re not worried about the prospect of a Star Wars future, you’ll need to get used to the idea of advertising being beamed across the firmament. Wir wissen alle, dass die Ressourcen auf diesem Planeten endlich sind. Wenn wir unseren Lebensstandard halten wollen und auch künftigen Generationen ermöglichen möchten, müssen wir uns daher woanders nach Rohstoffen umsehen. Eine naheliegende Lösung sind dabei die anderen Himmelskörper in unserem Sonnensystem. Der nächstgelegene ist natürlich der Mond und er ist rohstoffreicher, als die meisten von uns wahrscheinlich vermuten. Der Aufbau von Rohstoffminen auf dem Mond mag für viele noch wie ferne Zukunftsmusik klingen, aber die Pläne dazu sind in vollem Gange. Und das dies nicht ohne internationalen Wettkampf um die Vorherrschaft einhergehen wird, ist vorauszusehen. All electronic equipment, especially mobile phones, must be set to silent before entering the Theatre and/or any other spaces where events are taking place. SmokingOnline booking for Royal Institution events is run by a third-party service, Eventbrite ( www.eventbrite.co.uk).

The book works like a video essay the zoomers prefer and is suitable for gobbling. Marshall did not forget to allude to amusing anecdotes as always to keep the audience awake. It does not bear repeating how public-friendly this book is. Marshall is an engaging writer, good at explaining the science as well as the politics, and with an eye for a telling fact." — New Statesman By attending a Royal Institution event, audience members consent to being filmed, livestreamed, recorded and photographed.

He also emphasize the space law to govern the balance of power between USA, Russia and China. Well, those key players are law-abiding citizen in earth, what to expect on zero gravity terra incognita.
