As space travel becomes more routine, multiple space agencies and companies are collaborating and competing closely, rather than in their own silos.
1:32:51 - 1:34:40 (01:48)
Summary
As space travel becomes more routine, multiple space agencies and companies are collaborating and competing closely, rather than in their own silos. With several missions planned, the European Space Agency (ESA) and others can be expected to follow in the footsteps of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk in the near future.
