Space: a common horizon

About :
On Saturday, October 19 in Toulouse, the La Boétie Institute organized a conference on the challenges of space exploration, its uses, its current evolution, and its ecological bifurcation. Space exploration is at a pivotal moment in its history. Never have our societies benefited so much from the possibilities offered by space applications (telecommunications, GPS, imagery, etc.), and at the same time the increase in traffic in low Earth orbit by "mega-constellations" of satellites, the capitalist desire to monopolize resources or militarization are all threats. The vision of a peaceful exploration of humanity in space, protected during the Cold War, is contradicted by an increasingly aggressive competition between space hyperpowers - the United States of America on one side, China on the other, behind which are aligned the nations less endowed with a closed world club. This mad rush to commercialize space is not inevitable. Ecological planning of the space industry, in solidarity with spatial planning of ecology, paves another path for space programs and missions of general interest, in the service of science, the protection of the planet and societies. Seen from the angle of government by needs, the headlong rush of a space technology that would be its own end ceases to be obvious, as does its subjugation to economic and financial interests alone. It is thus a question of breaking with the ordinary management of space activities, particularly in France where space is managed by Bercy under the influence of an ideological conformism promoting the "New Space" model of SpaceX and the empty promises of start-ups. The reaffirmation of public power and the strategic State in the planning of space activities, although against the grain of a certain neoliberal discourse that has infused even the management of public companies and organizations, offers a much more demanding perspective and one that is up to the challenges of the "sustainability" of missions and the equitable sharing of space. As the third nation to have access to space in 1965, France has the responsibility to maintain its rank and affirm a vision of space as a common good of humanity. This would involve, among other things, registering these investments in the long term, defending strategic know-how and industries, but also establishing priorities. The specialists and space stakeholders invited to this conference proposed an inventory of virtuous uses and courses of action to rebuild astronautics. It was thus a question of politicizing "space policies" that are too often confined to the arenas of space technocracy. Because space is indeed everyone's business – an obvious fact in Toulouse, the historic home of the French space community.
