A new competition for space dominance began, with China and Russia on the one hand, and the United States and other countries, as well as private companies, on the other. The Moon will be the star with the most visits in the coming years. What are the most important missions and interests behind it all? We explain it.
Now, more than 50 years after humans first set foot on the Moon, world powers find themselves in another race for space, but now they do so with five more decades of knowledge and technological development.
The Moon is at the center of the dispute: in 2022 alone, more than 200 launches to this star are expected, something unprecedented in history. The United States and China will send missions, but so will Japan, Russia, India, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates.
Among the most important missions are NASA’s Artemis, in which the US and 13 other countries participate, and a joint project between China and Russia. Both missions plan to build space stations on the Moon and explore the possibility of building bases with in-situ materials, all with the intention of later bringing this technology to Mars.
Behind these missions and others that will be sent to discover other celestial bodies, there are scientific, economic, political, private and, especially, geostrategic interests. In this In 5 Minutes we explain the background of the new space race and what is leading humans to invest millions of dollars in it.
