The Center for the Study of the Presidency & Congress invites you to join us for a virtual roundtable discussion on:

Building the Space Economy for Commerce & Security

Tuesday, October 13, 2020 | 10:00 AM - 11:15 AM ET

The previous four years witnessed some of the most significant bureaucratic reorganizations in national security space with the establishment of the Space Force, and the re-establishments of U.S. Space Command and the National Space Council. What steps are necessary to build commerce in and from space? What investments are needed? What rules and norms are needed to facilitate greater activity in orbit? What obstacles remain and how can the White House and Congress work to remove these barriers to operation? How is the way humans use space changing and what changes in thinking are necessary?

As America looks to the next election and the next four years, the opportunity for building a true space economy is perhaps never greater, join us for a conversation with experts and leaders in the government and business sector.
