Estonian space pioneer Jaan Praks has warned of a dangerous monopoly developing in the space industry, specifically attributed to Elon Musk. Praks, who lived through the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Estonia's subsequent independence, has also been central to Finland’s recent growth in the space sector. He suggests Musk’s increasing control over space technologies poses a risk to innovation and accessibility in the field. Praks's perspective stems from witnessing significant geopolitical and technological shifts throughout his career. This warning underscores growing anxieties about the concentration of power in the hands of a few private entities in space exploration. His experience gives weight to concerns over potential limitations on competition and the equitable development of space technologies.
