It\u2019s the first crewed voyage out of low earth orbit in more than half a century &#8211; but behind the celebration &#8211; another story is taking shape.<\/p>\n<p>[Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https:\/\/channel4news.substack.com\/subscribe]<\/p>\n<p>The modern \u2018space race\u2019 is a high-stakes contest for military, economic and technological dominance here on earth. A contest where whoever controls orbit, controls everything below. <\/p>\n<p>So what does Artemis tell us about this contest? About the collision of scientific aspiration, strategic military rivalry, and economic leverage? <\/p>\n<p>How are the world\u2019s governments, militaries and increasingly private companies shaping this orbital order? <\/p>\n<p>On the latest episode of The Fourcast, Keme Nzerem is joined by Libby Jackson, Head of Space at London\u2019s Science Museum, formerly head of space exploration at the UK Space Agency.<\/p>\n<p>And Gabriel Elefteriu, Senior Research Fellow in Space Power at the Council on Geostrategy. His work is on defence space policy, and the global space power balance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Get more news at our site &#8211; https:\/\/www.channel4.com\/news\/ <\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https:\/\/channel4news.substack.com\/subscribe<\/p>\n<p>Follow us:<br \/>\nTikTok &#8211; https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@c4news<br \/>\nInstagram &#8211; https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/channel4news\/<br \/>\nTwitter &#8211; https:\/\/twitter.com\/Channel4News<br \/>\nFacebook &#8211; https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Channel4News\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Artemis II launch: how space race is the \u2018new gold rush\u2019 NASA\u2019s Artemis ll mission has blasted off&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3188,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[298,6004,366,352,365,6170,6589,6591,354,1285,353,1886,4628,5801,6586,6587,6594,6592,6584,6585,6590,4896,6593,4645,341,6588,235],"class_list":{"0":"post-3187","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-channel-4-news","8":"tag-artemis-ii","9":"tag-artemis-launch","10":"tag-channel-4","11":"tag-channel-4-news","12":"tag-channel4","13":"tag-china-space-program","14":"tag-elon-musk-spacex","15":"tag-global-power-competition","16":"tag-international-news","17":"tag-international-relations","18":"tag-latest-news","19":"tag-moon-mission-2026","20":"tag-nasa-moon-mission","21":"tag-new-space-race","22":"tag-orbital-dominance","23":"tag-satellites-defence","24":"tag-space-control","25":"tag-space-economics","26":"tag-space-geopolitics","27":"tag-space-military","28":"tag-space-policy","29":"tag-space-race","30":"tag-space-strategy","31":"tag-space-technology","32":"tag-uk-news","33":"tag-us-space-force","34":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@videos\/116336315700482730","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/videos\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
