| Summary/Abstract |
A new arena of international competition is emerging - in space. The New Space Race is quite different from the old one, when super-powers vied to put men or women in space or on the Moon. There are many more competitors but also more celestial bodies to conquer. Dozens of countries have plans to reach the Moon in the near future. But some are looking well beyond the Moon, even to Mars. The scramble to reach the red planet is very different, however, from the concurrent race to return to the Moon. It is way more complex and expensive for starters.
