About the episode
Space is the final frontier! What opportunities do entrepreneurs miss in the infinite universe? Are NASA and the European Space Agency competitors or colleagues? Today, “The Top of the Netherlands” will launch into space with an extended conversation with Harm van de Wetering, Director of the Dutch Space Office.
Broadcaster Meindert Schott asks him if…
– Space travel is not primarily a cost item;
– Dutch policy pays enough attention to this;
– Space will not soon be filled with space debris;
– The European Union is sufficiently independent;
NASA is a great example to the rest of the world.
