The space race is not over — it is only beginning, and we are behind
By landing on the moon, the United States asserted itself as a leader of the space race that was launched with the Soviet Union’s Sputnik in 1957. However, the space race is not over. It is only beginning, and the U.S. is at risk of falling behind. While our nation remains the unequivocal leader in space, the risk of losing this distinction to China and Russia is on the horizon.
