The New Space Race Is About Resources Not Exploration
With Namrata Goswami
The Cold Star Project - Season 2, Episode 101
Hosted, Directed, and Produced by Jason Kanigan
Space is no longer about exploration.
The real shift is happening around resources. Water, energy, and the ability to build and operate beyond Earth. That changes what matters, and who matters.
In this episode of The Cold Star Project, I talk with space policy expert Namrata Goswami about how the United States, China, and India are approaching space resources, and why smaller countries like the UAE and Luxembourg moved earlier than most people realize.
We get into what has actually changed since the Cold War model of prestige and firsts, how nations are thinking about the Moon and cislunar space, and what happens once resource extraction becomes practical at scale.
This is not theoretical. The policies, programs, and infrastructure are already being put in place.
Topics covered:
If you are trying to understand where space development is actually going, this is the conversation.
