The space race is being reshaped by geopolitics, offering opportunities for countries such as New Zealand

The space economy is being reshaped — not just by innovation, but by geopolitics. What was once dominated by state space agencies, and more recently by private ventures, is evolving into a hybrid model in which government priorities and commercial capabilities are intertwined.

The rise of protectionist policies, tariff wars, export controls and national security concerns is forcing space firms to adapt their strategies – and in many cases, to rethink where and how they operate.

This offers countries such as New Zealand the opportunity to stand out in the new space race – becoming neutral ground with fewer trade and other regulatory barriers for the growth of the emerging hybrid space economy.




Perpetual motion machine.

(Oh god I have to put /s here don't I or else someone will think I'm serious.)

These panels might produce 1-2 kw at full power, and the battery on a Lightning is up to 145 kilowatt hours so...yeah that's a real trickling trickle charger. Still very cool though!

Ha ha, but you also have to consider aerodynamics degradation. Back when I was heavily involved in the early EV movement, there was always a guy popping up with some kind of homebrew perpetual motion idea. More than once it involved wind turbines on the vehicle! (Yes, I said more than once... rotflmao!)

@elaterite ha! But here the crazy thing.

The press car I have on loan this week (luxury EV crossover) is heavier than the entry level F150 Lightning.

We need smaller, more efficient rides…

@Aminorjourney I love my '22 Kia Niro. 64 kwh battery that gets me ~350 miles and I got it for $16k after a tax credit. When the Lightning was announced I thought it was too big and heavy and expensive to sell well (I have no idea how it's been selling).

The recently-announced Scout truck may find a market in the US.

Die SPD ist in den letzten Jahren immer weiter nach RECHTS gerückt, während der Chef uns erklärt, sie wäre zu LINKS geworden und müsse mehr für die Mitte tun. Bullshit, Lars, wir lassen uns auch von dir nicht verarschen. #NieMehrSPD

Die menschenverachtende Symbolpolitik der CSU durch Dobrindt überfordert unsere Beamten und kostet der Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft Milliarden. #NieMehrCSU

This is excellent. I would have snapped up this magazine based on the cover alone. I wonder if they chickened out of making those structures straightforward crosses for fear of offending christians?
