American space policy expert Greg Autry, PhD briefs the FPA on the unique challenges ahead for the international use of space, the “final frontier,” not least since China, inventor of the rocket, is well and truly over the moon – and now on Mars as well.

In a replay of the Sputnik challenge, can western economic models beat Beijing’s state-directed effort? Autry maintains that China is already undermining the markets and investment opportunities of Western Commercial Space firms with the usual “dump and pump” play of subsidizing SOEs and “national champions” to grab market share and kill off the competition.

Bill Holstein, current President of the Overseas Press Club Foundation notes that the advances the Chinese are currently making at US expense in technology may see China (with Russian help) pose a serious threat to US aspirations in space.

Join Ian Williams, FPA President, Greg Autry and Bill Holstein to discuss the issues and implications of the new space race on July 13th at 4PM EDT.
