Please join the CSIS Aerospace Security Project on Friday, September 26, at 12:00 p.m. for a conversation with Christian Davenport on his latest book, Rocket Dreams: Musk, Bezos, and the Inside Story of the New, Trillion-Dollar Space Race. The program will begin with a fireside chat between Kari A. Bingen, Director of the Aerospace Security Project and Senior Fellow with the Defense and Security Department, and Christian Davenport, staff writer at The Washington Post.
They will be joined by Dr. Scott Pace, Director of the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University, and former Deputy Assistant to the President and Executive Secretary of the National Space Council, and Chirag Parikh, President of Indutara Space LLC, and former Deputy Assistant to the President and Executive Secretary of the National Space Council, both of whom played pivotal roles in the events chronicled in the book. Together, the panel will discuss the rivalries and alliances shaping the New Space Age, including lunar exploration, private sector innovation, and the strategic implications of international competition. The event will conclude with a book signing and reception.
This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
