The Australian Institute of International Affairs is proud to present Dr Morris Jones speaking about his new book, The New Moon Race. A new race to the moon has emerged in Asia. China, India and Japan have all sent spacecraft there. Why are Asia’s tiger economies so obsessed with the moon? The new space race involves national prestige, strategic issues, and the quest for new sources of energy. In the meantime, the United States is lurching forward with its own plans for a return to the Moon. We are pleased to present a rare talk on these under-reported yet highly significant events.

Dr Jones is an Australian writer and space analyst. The AIIA forum for discussion and research on subjects of topical and continuing interest through meetings, conferences and seminars addressed by distinguished specialists and public figures.
