In a controversial statement, Emmanuel Macron declared that Europe must soon become one of the world's top space powers. He emphasized the importance of space technologies and announced plans for the first manned flights in the Green Continent, stating: "We must be pioneers in this field and focus on our scientific and technological capabilities."
Challenges Ahead
Macron, referring to the challenges ahead on this path, stressed the need for close cooperation among European countries. He added: "To achieve this goal, we need to concentrate our resources and talents in a unified direction. The time has come for Europe to attain its rightful place in the space arena."
These remarks come as other countries such as the United States and China are rapidly advancing in space technologies. Macron also stated that Europe must focus on developing and launching indigenous satellites to gain greater independence in this field.
Bright Future
The President of France stated that this program will not only strengthen Europe's space industry but will also create jobs and enhance scientific capabilities in the Green Continent. He emphasized that, given Europe's recent space successes, the continent can easily lead in international competitions in this field.
Finally, Macron said: "We are on the brink of a space revolution, and we will spare no effort to achieve this goal. Europe must stand on its own feet and become a major power in the space arena."
