We are honored to be mentioned in the same article with a generational rocket scientist in Andy Lapsa and a wonderful investor in Anton Brevde. Great article by Aashna Shah of Bloomberg We now sit at the dawn of a new era in space which includes rapid growth in the space economy. Companies like Stoke Space, Impulse Space, Anduril Industries, X-Bow Systems Inc., SpaceX, Varda Space Industries, Space Perspective, and others are reshaping life on Earth. They will also reshape life off Earth. A growing space and defense tech startup ecosystem is pushing the boundaries of software, manufacturing. transportation, medicine, and artificial intelligence. In doing so, private space companies are showing investors the transformational potential of allocating capital in the final frontier. hashtag #spacex #Space #Spacenews #DualUse #SpaceTech https://lnkd.in/e2nz4Qmk

At Balerion Space Ventures, we believe that China, whether as a formidable opponent or ally, will have rapid success in space and defense technology and that these accomplishments will drive an economic and military competitive response from the United States and its allies. In both China and the United States, the private sector continues to play a larger role in successfully completing major missions. These two factors - a fast-growing Chinese space program and a trend to commercial provision of space technology - will ensure consistent and increasing government investment in space and defense technology by the United States.

🛰 Great article from Vivienne Machi on the future of In-Space maneuvering. 🛰 "In the next half-century, a plethora of tech sectors currently stationed here on Earth are poised to move up to space, and the U.S. government and its commercial partners want to be at the forefront. From pharmaceutical development in microgravity to the manufacture of new minerals, to space tourism, to military superiority, the promise of – and investment in – space technologies has never been higher." #SpaceTech #NewSpaceEconomy #SpaceInvesting https://lnkd.in/gYgpTYET

🛰 Why America's Investment in Space Is Crucial in the Global Arena 🛰 Recent developments in China's military organization have underscored the strategic importance of space and information domains in modern warfare. China has launched the People’s Liberation Army Information Support Force (ISF), replacing the Strategic Support Force that previously commanded space forces. This reorganization emphasizes information warfare, integrating space, cyber, electronic, and psychological operations, reflecting a shift towards prioritizing these capabilities. The U.S. must recognize the evolving landscape where space is not just a frontier for exploration but a critical battlefield. With China expanding its satellite reconnaissance and planning massive communication networks through mega-constellations, space technology is certainly central to modern military strategy and national security. Space innovation is not just about maintaining competitiveness; it's about safeguarding security in an era where information dominance can decide the outcomes of conflicts. The U.S. must enhance its space capabilities to protect its assets and counter potential threats effectively.
