Are we on the cusp of a revolution in space exploration? ‘It’s not just a boom – it’s a frenzy’ – space exploration is captivating the imaginations of entrepreneurs and national governments alike, as the race is on to push the boundaries of mankind’s spacefaring technology. From Elon Musk’s plan to settle humans on Mars to Richard Branson’s ambitions for commercial space tourism, new interests are picking up where the Cold War space race petered out. But mankind’s final frontier may not be as utopian as the visionaries of the past imagined, as new geopolitical tensions emerge in the quest for dominance amongst the stars.
"Since the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, perhaps there has never been such frenzy for space exploration as in the second decade of the 21st century. 'The New Space Era' is a documentary that brings together archive material and testimonies from experts on the subject, at a time when it is not only governments but also millionaire entrepreneurs like Elon Musk or Richard Branson who are betting on the conquest of Mars and space tourism. It's not particularly revealing, but it works as an introduction to such topics and their reflection."
