Join us for a compelling webinar moderated by Beyond Earth’s Executive Vice President, Courtney Stadd, where subject experts will discuss the aggressive human spaceflight initiatives of China and India. These emerging space powers are challenging the long-held assumption that the U.S. will continue to lead in the development of beyond earth in-space human communities. The discussion will focus on the current status of these nations' efforts toward permanent occupation of Earth orbit and beyond, the motivations behind their ambitious programs, and the broader geopolitical implications of their advancements. This event is designed to inform our audience about the dynamic changes in the global space landscape, without advocating for or against these developments.

What’s the reality? What are the facts? What does this mean for the future of human spaceflight? Are we ushering the same Earthly geopolitical fault lines into outer space?
