Brian Cox discusses the excitement and challenges of space colonization during international meetings aimed at space management. He highlights the revolutionary advancements in engineering, particularly the development of reusable rockets by companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, making space exploration more affordable. As we move toward becoming a multi-planetary civilization, Cox emphasizes the growing significance of space technologies in our everyday lives, including satellite navigation and climate observation, and anticipates the emergence of multiple space stations enhancing scientific research in orbit.
I find that it's a challenge because of course, it's always a challenge when different countries and different commercial interests and so on are trying to flesh out agreements about how you manage a frontier.
So we're industrializing the space above our heads just a few hundred miles above our heads at an ever increasing rate.
So there’s been a revolution in engineering in the last 10 years or so, because now we have reusable rockets.
