Space: From Communications, Travel, Threats, and Defence. What is the Final Frontier?
Since man first stared at the skies and marvelled at the clockwork of infinite physics, humans have been fascinated with our relationship outside the immediate surface of the planet. In the last hundred years, speculation on the potential of the skies has transformed from science fiction to very hard, science fact. Space technology is going through a revolution, with increasingly powerful Earth Observation and (tele) communications powered by computing power and ever more advanced battery and competent performance. Today, our lives are improved by space technology. Tomorrow they will rely on it. This session looks into the final frontier to explore how this potential can be exploited in a very practical was to improve resilience.
