#SpaceAgenda2025 💡 Framing Space Agenda Through Strategic Foresight The environment that decisionmakers need to navigate is fast moving, complex, and unpredictable. To contextualize, simplify, and focus on the highest-impact and most critical issues that the next administration should address for the space enterprise in the next four years, this chapter provides a detailed issues map that outlines three key themes and, across them, 20 critically important issues, along with links to relevant content. Author Kara Cunzeman leverages her team’s expertise in applied strategic foresight and insights to carefully assess the highest-impact, critical pathways for action. The resulting framework offers policymakers a basis to identify, discuss, formulate ideas, and debate strategy on the most critical topics to address to chart a future for U.S. leadership in space—a blueprint for the incoming administration to best navigate issues that will have the biggest impact for U.S. leadership writ large.
