The space sector requires impartial leadership to sustain global cooperation and resilient supply chains. Ethical imperatives must be prioritized to mitigate reputational risk. In this domain, leadership that amplifies political division while claiming to serve humanity is a logical inconsistency.

ESA Space Environment Report 2025

"Preventing the addition of new debris is no longer sufficient. We must now actively clean up the space environment to halt the onset of a chain reaction that could render heavily utilised regions unusable. Immediate and decisive action is necessary."
