Race to Space

The following countries have space programs:

1. United States
2. Russia
3. China
4. Japan
5. European Union
6. India

The following countries have manned space flights:

• United States
• China 
• Russia

In the USA, we have a few billionaires that are entering the space race along with the government, these are:

• Elon Musk --  Space X
• Jeff Bezos --  Blue Origin
• Richard Branson --  Virgin Galactic/Virgin Orbit

OPINION:  Personally, I believe that these billionaires will not just move faster than then government but will surpass whatever it is that the US government tries to do.

As far as other countries are concerned:

>>>Russia is pretty much out of the picture with a recent crash in the moon's atmosphere and their expenditures of money on the war in Ukraine.

>>>China wants to beat the USA and be the leader in space, but they are also trying to be leader of the world as they pump money into their militaries.

>>>India's recent landing on the moon was accomplished at a less of  cost than any other country.  How did they manage to do that?

THEREFORE...

Our billionaires (Musk, Bezos, and Branson) will be the ones that lead the world into space.  At some point in time, instead of competing with each other, they should form a consortium, and work together.

Regardless of what you personally believe, we will be colonizing a planet in space by 2030...  that is only 6 years away...  in 6 years, there could be so many AI/Robots that they could possibly be the crew and workers that build the first colony...

These billionaires want to build this colony on Mars but I suppose there are other planets that have yet to be targeted.

When this happens, our life on EARTH will change dramatically.
