Musk versus Bezos.
China versus the United States.
The government versus the private sector.
Welcome to the rivalries and alliances defining the New Space Age.
At stake? Billions of dollars, national prestige, and a place in the history books.
Moon landings and space walks once captivated the public’s attention. But, in recent decades, the U.S. space enterprise has felt moribund. Now, that’s finally about to change.
A fleet of powerful new rockets is poised to take humans into the cosmos more than ever before. A lunar land rush has sparked a geopolitical competition among nations. And the world’s two richest men have engaged in escalating brinkmanship, as NASA and the U.S. government embraces Silicon Valley innovation to jump-start the nation’s ambitions.
Space has entered a golden age, and this is just the beginning. In this gripping work, award-winning Washington Post writer Christian Davenport chronicles the mad scramble to shape humanity’s off-planet future. He takes listeners behind the scenes at NASA and the Pentagon as China’s aggressive moon mining plans raise alarms, onto the sprawling Cape Canaveral factory where Blue Origin is working toward Amazon-style lunar deliveries, and onto SpaceX launch pads as Musk’s engineers log 100-hour weeks—leaving veteran astronauts marveling that they’re now operating “flying iPhones.”
What will happen as human ambition outpaces governmental regulation? Which country will win the race back to the moon? Was Donald Trump’s much-derided creation of the Space Force a surprising act of foresight, and will the U.S. finally make a real push to the moon and eventually toward Mars?
Masterfully paced, rigorously reported, and vividly told, Rocket Dreams offers a riveting, fly-on-the-wall account of the grit-fueled global battle to push humankind further into the cosmos—revealing that the science fiction dreams of the last century may soon become our reality.

The humans have not gone past low earth orbit since 1973. I doubt they will even manage that again.
The fanboy dupes are eating it up with a huge spoon, but it’s all empty calories - junk food. The humans will not get out of this century alive and they are distracting themselves playing cartoon space man. Denial. The humans #1 cognitive bias coping mechanism.
First western civilization will collapse (US any day) then industrial agriculture then the humans will go bye bye forever.

**Humans will be extinct in 100 years says eminent scientist**
.
“(PhysOrg.com) — Eminent Australian scientist Professor Frank Fenner, who helped to wipe out smallpox, predicts humans will probably be extinct within 100 years, because of overpopulation, environmental destruction and climate change.
Fenner, who is emeritus professor of microbiology at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra, said homo sapiens will not be able to survive the population explosion and “unbridled consumption,” and will become extinct, perhaps within a century, along with many other species. United Nations official figures from last year estimate the human population is 6.8 billion, and is predicted to pass seven billion next year. (8.1 billion pop 2025).
He said he believes the situation is irreversible, and it is too late because the effects we have had on Earth since industrialization (a period now known to scientists unofficially as the Anthropocene) rivals any effects of ice ages or comet impacts.
Fenner said that climate change is only at its beginning, but is likely to be the cause of our extinction. More people means fewer resources, and Fenner predicts “there will be a lot more wars over food.”

Global industrial agriculture is well past peak food production and the people who grow it are dying out, often by their own hand. The consequences of runaway climate change and other Overshoot predicaments are getting worse every year.
Playing spaceman is as good as any other coping strategy. Some play Gunz-N-Ammo survivalist and they might live 1 week longer.
