The new space race, driven by both government and private sector investments, is reshaping industries from telecommunications to national defense, with space projected to exceed $1 trillion by 2040. Key areas of focus include satellite constellations, GPS superiority, and lunar exploration, which have strategic and commercial implications, particularly in defense and technological innovation. As private companies like SpaceX, HawkEye 360, and Varda Space push the boundaries of space technology, investors see vast potential for growth in a rapidly expanding space economy.
