The bottom line: the Moon is no longer a relic of Cold War nostalgia. It is becoming the most strategically contested real estate beyond Earth. Whether the United States or China establishes a sustained presence first will shape space governance, resource access, and technological leadership for the rest of this century. For everyday Americans, this race will drive job creation, technology spinoffs, and — eventually — lower costs for satellite services like GPS, weather forecasting, and broadband that billions of people already depend on. / #NASAArtemis #SpaceExploration #LunarRace #MoonBase #SpaceGeopolitics #ArtemisProgramme
