@nssastronomy2: In the second half of the 20th century, the Space Race turned space into a competitive battlefield between the United States and the Soviet Union. From Sputnik 1, Yuri Gagarin to Apollo 11, each milestone was a race to prove who was the leading technological superpower. In the 21st century, the New Space Race is opening a completely different kind of competition. No longer just the United States versus the Soviet Union, now the United States, China, India, Japan, Europe, and private companies are all setting their sights on the Moon. The goal is no longer simply “who arrives first?”, but “who will stay?” building bases, exploiting resources, and turning the Moon into a stepping stone for further journeys, especially to Mars #universe #space #Astronomy #nasa #fyp
