Event Format: Panel

Date: Friday, June 29, 2012

China's space exploration program continues to post impressive accomplishments. On Friday, June 29, the George Marshall Institute and the Space Enterprise Council will host a discussion about China's activities and plans and their implications for the U.S.

Is a new space race emerging? Will the U.S. begin to place greater urgency on its own space exploration efforts in response to China? Does the Chinese program present other national security or geopolitical concerns? Why has China elected to prioritize space activities?

These questions and others will be considered by:

* Scott Pace, Director of the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University;
* Dean Cheng, Research Fellow in the Asian Studies Center at the Heritage Foundation

When: June 29, 2012
