There is general consensus to the claim that we are living in what is probably the most uncertain and geo-politically turbulent times since at least the cold war. With issues ranging from global terrorism, social anxiety in Europe due to the migrant crisis, oil price depreciations, climate change repercussions, territorial disputes in the South China Sea, economic stagnation and virus pandemics in South America etc. All under the umbrella of a global financial crisis and on edge regional powers. One would not be far off therefore in confusing world affairs for a Jackson Pollock painting. The similarities are uncanny; both are chaotic, colorful, inventive, and strategic. If we add to this milieu of international affairs the dynamics of space based technologies, which I will be talking about in this paper, we would truly be in a state of awe and trepidation when coming to terms with the capabilities and visions we as humans have come to master and conceptualize today.
