Space Race

 The year 2025 is expected to be a significant turning point for the deep space market – including the Moon, Mars, and even distant asteroids. A combination of technological revolutions, increasing commercial interest, and growth in both government and private funding is opening the door to a new era of manned and robotic missions beyond Earth’s orbit.

The space race is back – but this time, it’s not just a rivalry between superpowers like the United States and China.

It has also become a competitive arena for major corporations and influential private players like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.


Beyond the industry’s current leaders, new companies are beginning to recognize the vast potential of space resources.

Ideas that once seemed like science fiction – such as mining the Moon for resources or establishing data centers beyond Earth – are moving closer to becoming technological realities.

For Israel, a country renowned for its ability to thrive in extreme environments, this presents a golden opportunity to claim a stake in this emerging market and lead technologically as the “Start-Up Nation” once again.

Key factors driving the shift in 2025

Several major factors make 2025 a pivotal year.

Donald Trump’s victory in the US elections and his inauguration speech, in which he expressed support for sending astronauts to Mars, has reinforced the strategic priority of space exploration.

At the same time, his close ally, Elon Musk, has been positioned in a highly influential role, which could impact space-related priorities.

Additionally, NASA has undergone leadership changes, with Jared Isaacman – a private astronaut and entrepreneur from the commercial sector – appointed as the new administrator.
