The past 50 years in space were defined by governments.
The future belongs to private companies.

Nations have historically focused on scientific missions. Private companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin have different goals:
• They want to establish a permanent human presence on Mars
• Create a future where people are live and work in space

🪐🛠Over the short term, space will likely become a place to manufacture high-precision, high-value products that benefit from a microgravity environment.
But in the future, there could be a push to move heavy, polluting industries to operate in space.

👽 It's an age-old question — is life as we know it on Earth unique, or is the universe actually teeming with life?
Upcoming missions will search for signs of life — and conditions for it — on worlds near and far from Earth.

📡Beyond the boundaries of our solar system, scientists are continuing the search for signs of life that aren't molecules from microbes but radio signals that would indicate other technologically advanced life is out there.

By 2050, assuming current Earth-observing platforms continue into the future, researchers will have...
• ~70 years of reliable data on sea level rise
• >80 years of records on land use change
• >60 years of monitoring mass changes in polar ice sheets

⏭🪐 Black science fiction writers and artists known as Afrofuturists say the next 30 years of space exploration could address legacies of racial terror on Earth if people of color join ventures and help reimagine human life among the planets.
