Blue Origin and SpaceX Cancel Attendance at Paris Space Summit

The American giants Blue Origin and SpaceX cancelled on Thursday their participation in the first International Space Summit in Paris, which was to take place in less than a week. The decision was made just days before the event's start, putting the organizers on alert. Rumors indicate that the White House pressured the companies not to attend the summit. The absence of the two largest private space companies in the United States represents a significant blow to the event, which aimed to bring together the main players in the sector worldwide.
