Abstract

Abstract The changing geopolitical situation offers unparalleled opportunities for space cooperation. However, thanks to the USA's insistence on retaining control, the history of past US-European cooperation in space has been fraught with difficulties and disappointments, not least of which is the current debâcle over the International Space Station. This and other cooperative ventures are analysed and the need for truly equitable partnerships is argued. In conclusion the author presents a model for an expedition to Mars which could form the basis for real global cooperation in space.
