Dr. Antje Nötzold in Interview with ZDF on the Future of Space Exploration Dr. Antje Nötzold in Interview with ZDF on the Future of Space Exploration

In the interview, Dr. Antje Nötzold explains that there is currently little alternative to collaborating with SpaceX when it comes to the development and expansion of European space exploration. She emphasizes that with the planned Ariane 6, the capacities for the coming years are already fully booked, and the European space industry faces the challenge of finding a future-proof solution. A key point in her discussion is the necessity of focusing more on reusable rockets to optimize costs and resources in space exploration. Additionally, Nötzold warns about the growing importance of military activities in space, which are expected to increase in the coming years. The ongoing militarization of space is becoming an increasingly significant geopolitical issue that the international community must address.
