This time it's not a race to the moon, but to see who will dominate a future space tourism industry. It's a competition not between nations (as it was in the 1950s and '60s) but largely between billionaire entrepreneurs and private spaceflight companies.
This summer, the Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and the British entrepreneur Richard Branson both flew to space in rockets designed by their companies, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic — although each flight was less than 11 minutes.

Foundation's Space Travel Compared To Star Wars & Star Trek
The Foundation TV series introduces viewers to the Jump Drive, Isaac Asimov's way of traveling across the galaxy - and here's how it compares to Star Trek and Star Wars . One of the biggest problems with science-fiction is the simple question of how to get from A to B.
The problem is particularly heightened in stories where there are galactic governments. As Star Trek: Discovery season 3 demonstrated, it's impossible for there to be galactic powers if there aren't methods of traveling between the stars at speed - even the Federation fell when it lost that.
60 Years Of Nuclear In Space Is Just The Beginning
Transit 4A, shown here with its companion payloads before launch in 1961, was a U.S. Navy satellite ... [+] program to provide exact navigational positions regardless of surface weather.
Transit IV-A's SNAP-3B radioisotope generator produced 2.7 W of electrical power, which is enough to power an LED lightbulb.
