| Description | A standard microeconomic tool is used to analyze quantitative data to reveal the attitudes of European states towards space exploration and exploitation. The contemporary economic crisis uncovers the real political priorities. The tool used helps us to distinguish between three policy types: activist, active and passive. Words can radically differ from real actions of governments as it is shown in this paper. Results indicate that there is a relatively strong core of supporting states of space exploration and exploitation in the middle of the European continent. |
