💡 🚀 The incredible success of SpaceX, particularly the recovery of the #SuperHeavy booster during the fifth test flight of the #Starship rocket, has once again highlighted the growing dominance of American companies in the #space sector and its commercialization. The speed at which Elon Musk's company is innovating and completing successful missions is astonishing, leaving the world—and #Europe—facing a major challenge: significantly accelerating their plans and funding in the #space sector to keep up with this competitive pressure. Dominating space also means dominating numerous strategic fields: #communications, #observation, #security, #defense, #transportation, #agriculture, and more. To respond to this fierce competition, #Europe must increase its investments. This involves both rallying and rapidly mobilizing the efforts of the major historic European players on strategic projects, and enabling, through specialized funds (from venture capital to growth funds), the support of leaders emerging from the new players in the space industry (the #Spacetechs). By investing significantly more (in billions rather than hundreds of millions), these companies could accelerate their development and strengthen their position on the international stage. There is also the question of whether these companies should look to the East to boost their growth. Partnerships with emerging space countries like #India, #Korea, and #Japan could open up new opportunities and allow #Europe to diversify its technological collaborations. The stakes are high: it's not only about maintaining European competitiveness, but also ensuring its strategic autonomy in a sector that is already critical for the future.
