2016 will go down as the year of seismic political change. I am sure when we have a 50 year anniversary edition of Via Satellite (we celebrate 30 years this year), we would definitely cover this year in huge depth! I write this on the morning that Donald Trump has been elected as the next president of the United States. Whenever these seismic political events happen, we look as an industry on how these events could shape our business going forward \u2013 good or bad.<\/p>\n

Ironically, we have just recently done a cover story in Via Satellite where we had a number of top executives in the U.K. space industry talk about the fallout of Brexit and what it could mean for the space industry. Similarly, we now have a U.S. president who will have a very different approach to his predecessor on a number of issues. So, one of the questions facing our industry in the United States is what the next four years will look like for major U.S. space companies, both in terms of doing business at home and internationally. In four year\u2019s time, it really will be fascinating to look back at what happened in 2016 and in particularly, how U.S. and U.K. space companies fare between 2016 and 2020.<\/p>\n
