Spy satellites orbiting the moon. Space metals worth more than most countries’ GDP. People on Mars within the next ten years. This isn’t science fiction. It’s astropolitics.
Humans are heading up and out, and we’re taking our power struggles with us. Soon, what happens in space will shape human history as much as the mountains, rivers and seas have on Earth. It’s no coincidence that Russia, China and the USA are leading the way. The next fifty years will change the face of global politics.
With all the insight and wit that have made Tim Marshall the UK’s most popular writer on geopolitics, this revelatory Talk shows that politics and geography are as important in Space as on the ground.
Talks will last approximately one hour followed by a Q&A.
Books will be sold at the Talks and online by The Bookshop at Canterbury Christ Church University.
