Race to Space

The race to space is underway. Far beyond mere exploration, it is primarily about political, economic, and military power. The superpowers - the USA, China and Russia - as well as Europe, are fiercely competing for dominance in space, just as billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson seek to propel themselves into the ranks of trillionaires through their space business. Under the term "New Space", the race for the commercialization of space is in full swing. It's about mining resources on other planets as well as the multibillion-dollar space tourism market. The construction of a Moon base and the colonization of Mars are as concretely planned as massive space-crat. Additionally, thousands of satellites orbit our planet to monitor Earth's activities and ensure internet coverage in the most remote corners. We stand at the beginning of a new era.
