Space exploration is accelerating faster than ever before. Missions, technologies, and ideas that once seemed like science fiction are now becoming reality—from private spaceflights and blockbuster films to satellites that track bushfires and probes searching for life beyond Earth. This rapid evolution is reshaping not only science, but also law, policy, international relations, economics, and even daily life.
So, what’s Australia’s place in this cosmic shift—and what lies ahead in the next decade?
Join astrophysicist and cosmologist Dr Brad Tucker as he takes us on a journey through the latest developments in space and what they mean for us here on Earth.
