Ian Bremmer Explores Humanity’s Future in Space
A new space race is underway, but this time the goal extends far beyond simply reaching the Moon. On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer sits down with astronaut Chris Hadfield to explore how the United States, China, and their respective partners are positioning themselves for a future in which humans could establish a permanent presence on the lunar surface. Falling launch costs, advances in technology, growing private-sector involvement, and the potential availability of lunar resources are transforming the Moon into an increasingly important economic and geopolitical frontier.
Bremmer and Hadfield also examine whether competition in space must inevitably lead to conflict. Drawing lessons from international cooperation in Antarctica and aboard the International Space Station, Hadfield discusses the importance of establishing shared rules before permanent lunar settlements become a reality. With U.S.-aligned and Chinese-led initiatives developing alongside one another, the conversation highlights a central challenge for the next era of space exploration: finding ways for geopolitical rivals to compete, cooperate, and create a workable framework for humanity’s future beyond Earth.
As a leading geopolitical analyst and President and Founder of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, Ian Bremmer helps audiences understand the forces reshaping international politics, business, and the global economy. His ability to make complex geopolitical developments accessible and relevant makes him an impactful speaker for organizations navigating an increasingly uncertain world.
