Steve Jordan Tomaszewski: 作为美国航空航天工业协会的代表,我认为美国在太空领域仍然具有领先地位,但面临着来自其他国家的竞争压力。我们需要关注政府规章、出口管制和采购流程等问题,以确保能够快速部署新技术,并与国际伙伴加强合作。同时,我们也需要利用发射成本降低和低地球轨道星座激增的趋势,加大对太空领域的投资。 Graham Warwick: 我认为美国的太空工业具有高度创新性,但中国在某些方面行动更快。美国在国家安全应用方面的主要问题是采购流程过于缓慢和昂贵。此外,中国的融资环境与美国不同,更多资金通过国有企业流入商业航天初创公司。尽管如此,中国在太空领域的创新也有积极的一面,因为它越依赖太空的商业应用,就越难在太空采取负面行动。美国的问题在于如何将创新应用于国防,以及如何应对太空商业化带来的影响。 Garrett Rehm: 我主要关注新兴的太空公司。我认为中国和俄罗斯的侦察卫星、反卫星导弹以及探月任务都引起了美国的担忧。自特朗普再次当选以来,航空航天领域出现向国防领域转移的趋势。太空发展局(SDA)在推动商业公司与政府合作方面发挥了一定的作用,但其未来发展仍有待观察。
