Dr. Scott’s space and migration analysis

Dr Scott Firsing, international scholar, entrepreneur and 2024 Political Candidate for the Texas House of Representatives has provided his expertise on multiple important topics over recent months. This includes Texas’ and America’s space ambitions, border technology and other important policy topics. Below are some of the highlights:

• The Texas Space Commission was recently unveiled by Governor Greg Abbott at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The Texas State Legislature and Abbott’s goal is to cement Texas’ position as a national leader in the space industry.

  The timing is important because there is not stopping this new global space race. It is a race requiring a vast amount of money and brain power, hence the necessity for space diplomacy. The expanding BRICS alliance does pose a formidable competition for America. This means space diplomacy will grow in foreign policy importance.
