The race is no longer about a single dramatic moment. It is a test of endurance that will take place over an indeterminate period of time, measured over decades — perhaps centuries. and International Studies commercially viable presence in space — from Earth orbit to the Moon to Mars — is likely to define the geopolitical order of the coming century. Unlike the original Space Race of the Cold War era — a purely state-vs-state contest between NASA and the Soviet program — today's competition is fundamentally different in structure and stakes. Space Race 1.0 was a pure state-to-...

Existe una versión de nosotros mismos que creemos inamovible. La que construimos como escudo, la que perfeccionamos hasta volverla irreconocible, la que confundimos con fortaleza porque nunca la hemos puesto a prueba de verdad.
