That 20x reduction has transformed space from an exclusive government playground into a commercially viable domain where startups can reach orbit on seed funding.This democratization of space access is precisely why the Global Space Awards emerged. The industry needed something beyond its echo chambers—a red-carpet moment celebrating excellence across the entire spectrum, from research laboratories to scaling businesses, from breakthroug
