Alongside its half-year results, the FTSE 250 company said it saw space as an area where it can help create “global firsts”. It has already underwritten the first insurance product designed for a commercial landing on the moon, for a mission planned by a Japanese company, Dymon, which intends to make several lunar trips with a rover small enough to fit in the palm of a human hand.
