An extremely packed course that provides a foundational understanding of what is arguably going to be the most important domain of our future.
We launched it once. You asked for more. So here we go again: louder, sharper, and still pointed at the stars. The second edition of our Expert Capsule Course on Space Power is now live!. From satellites to strategy, this short course maps out how space is shaping India’s future

The Trump administration has repealed the AI Diffusion Framework—a set of escalatory chip export controls. In our opinion piece for @the_hindu, Rijesh, @bharath_red and I argue that the AI Diffusion Framework will likely just get replaced by other new forms of chip controls.

Centuries later, the question will not be—whether humanity will travel to other planets, but who will travel and write the rules. The nations that are physically present in the “wilderness” will be the ones who set the precedents for law, commerce, and ethics beyond Earth. 8/9.

The high-powered pumps designed for rocket fuel have been miniaturised into artificial heart implants. The water filtration systems designed for the space station are now deployed in remote villages and disaster zones, providing clean drinking water. 7/9.

Keeping humans alive in space is hard. The resulting technological solutions don't stay in orbit. They come down to the ground! . The algorithms developed to clarify images from deep space were adapted for MRI and CT scans. 6/9.

Their stories provide a human face. They become focal points for national pride and aspiration. This public imagination is not just a feel-good emotion. It is a strategic asset which drives political will and space progress. Great endeavours are powered by human emotion. 5/9.

But you can't settle the wilderness without humans. Humans are adaptable, can problem-solve in real-time (the Apollo 13 moment), and make intuitive leaps that a pre-programmed rover cannot. Beyond the practical, the pioneering astronaut do something more important: Inspire. 4/9.
