Can Europe Compete in the Space Race?

Into Europe: The European Union and ESA are leading Europe’s efforts in Space. Europe has a state-of-the-art space industry and projects in Galileo and Copernicus, monitoring the Earth and providing a geolocation service. Yet due to the lack of a state subsidize through government contracts, the industry lacks large players and is falling behind. Can Europe step up to the task and compete in the increasingly competitive and militarized space?
