L’Europe peut-elle encore rivaliser dans la conquête spatiale ? Eva Berneke, ancienne dirigeante d’Eutelsat, sonne l’alarme : face à l’avance américaine et chinoise, l’Europe doit agir maintenant ou risquer de perdre sa souveraineté.

The United States is picking up speed. China is pushing and digital infrastructure. forward. And Europe is on the sidelines. Space is no longer a horizon-it has become an arena of power. What is being played out above our heads is not just about technology, but about our sovereignty, our security, and our power to decide. In her incisive essay, Eva Berneke urges us to overcome indecision, change scale, and accept risk so that we can develop an ambitious space program worthy of this century. Indeed, to remain a spectator today means being dependent on others tomorrow. It is no longer about participating. It is about existing. In the 21st century, nations that fail to take their place in the great battle for space will inevitably disappear from the world's great power balances. Europe will be a space power or else be nothing at all. This essay by the former CEO of Eutelsat is captivating.
