"If there is an important message, it is to ensure that space remains a collaborative field of scientific knowledge in the face of attempts to make it a space for commercial interventions or even military competition. Scientific research in space remains as such in the service of humanity, preserving the future of space to a collaborative vision".
The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, said this at the inauguration of the academic year of the University of Florence, speaking about space scientific research.
