Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

European Space Agency chief Josef Aschbacher | Increased threats in space expected
Q: So that means infrastructure on the lunar surface; it may sound a bit science fiction to imagine that on the moon, astronauts will be walking and driving rovers. How is Europe participating in the lunar economy and Artemis program?
Europe is actively involved, funding projects like Argonaut and Moonlight, providing components such as the European Service Module for the Orion capsule, and negotiating with NASA to expand European participation in lunar infrastructure and exploration.
European Space Agency chief Josef Aschbacher | Increased threats in space expected
Q: Sir, thank you so much for joining us today. I want to start with talking to you about the Eastern flank. Europe is being rattled by drone attacks. What role does the European Space Agency play in bolstering Europe's security?
ESA emphasizes coordinating with defense communities to define the space infrastructure needed for information gathering, communications, navigation, and overall security; while not a military organization, it's about enabling defense capabilities through space technologies and rapid, secure deployment.
Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation Arsenio Dominguez | ‘No country has the right to block the Strait of Hormuz’
Q: What is your outlook on returning to the pre-conflict status quo as these dialogues proceed?
He expresses cautious optimism that operations will resume and that dialogue between involved parties can address root causes, with ongoing monitoring and engagement to prevent negative knock-on effects.
Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation Arsenio Dominguez | ‘No country has the right to block the Strait of Hormuz’
Q: Do you welcome those efforts to form a coalition to intervene after the conflict?
He supports multilateral efforts led by major powers to reinforce the freedom of navigation and to ensure seafarer safety, while reiterating the IMO's technical plans to resume transit when feasible.
Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organisation Arsenio Dominguez | ‘No country has the right to block the Strait of Hormuz’
Q: Tehran says this is piracy. How would you describe it?
He describes the situation as highly critical, stressing that international law supports freedom of navigation and that alternative corridors are unverified and must be evaluated for safety.
