  • After a successful test flight of NASA’s Artemis-1 moon mission, the space agency now turns its attention to returning Americans to the moon within two to three years. But the U.S. is not the only country with lunar ambitions. China is aggressively pursuing it own plans to land astronauts on the moon and build out a permanent base. Both countries openly talk about the need to have a military presence in space to defend against the other. Already, a dangerous cold war cat-and-mouse game involving U.S., Russian and Chinese satellites plays out every day. NBC News goes in-depth to explore the challenges in a potential battlefield that is complex, congested and contested.

    This is a very well done report! Thank you! I'm a 68 year old child of the space program. The fact that we were going to the Moon during a decade that included the assassinations of President Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr and Robert Kennedy kept me from falling into a deep depression about the nature of the world I was growing up into. (Star Trek helped too, for that matter, by giving me a vision of where humanity could be way in the future.) Humanity needs to go back to the Moon and on to Mars not just because we are explorers at heart. We need to become a species that lives on more than just the Earth. Somewhere out there is an asteroid or comet or more than one of each with our name on it. We cannot assume we will be able to deflect every such object away from hitting Earth. Humanity needs to also be living elsewhere to insure the survival of our species.

      Suppose we decided to create a new value to replace money making in order to be The Kings on the hill or on The Moon or on The Mars ! Then the incentive of survival of civilization on Earth will take N°1 PLACE over making money , and peace will follow ! That's why , even certain people said since begining of the last couple of hundred years , or others repeated it having other aims , -- that was even thought thousands of years ago ( which have scant evidence for that or old writings or convincing tablets to back it up ? ! ) ; now I suggested since 2002 to 2013 on two different sites , both hacked to destruction and closures of sites due to technical errors or hackers or else (?) Here is my idea freely expressed that makes the lips of all freinds and foes to shut and refuse to get into discussions about my idea freely expressed or sugested , here it is : Lets replace monetary value by a superior value , non-monetary , non-bankable , and much less prone to be stolen by hackers ! That is USE-VALUE ATTACHED TO EACH PERSON's ( therefore non-alianable ! ) UNIVERSAL STATUS ! U.E. ( is not United Europe !) I defined as accumulated of two values A+B , where A = Universal Salary from birth to 17 years of age ! And B = Graded acumulated activities of Hours of socially necessary performed activity of that person after 17.OO years of age up to her or his life span !

      Even better, would be if the deep state military congressional industries complex (that secretly feeds off our untrackable CIA tax dollars) and the other secret navy military would cough up their secret propulsion systems and share those with the world. We know they have these new technologies and they have had play of time to play with them and back engineer them. It's time for complete disclosure of those secrets. WE are totally tired of the CIA classifying every piece of paper that crosses their secret sucking desks... Not very much really needs to be classified (3 %), so stop playing king of the mountain, like little kids... !!!!

    It is obviously a double standard for the US to condemn other space nations to develop and deploy space weapons systems to protect their own space assets and space interests as space is a shared space and not exclusively legally owned and controlled by the US which does not represent every person and every nation on earth! It is only a double standard and nothing else for the US to accuse other competitor and rival nations of reckless and irresponsible space behaviour that is no different from the US behaviour and the need to defend its space assets!

    I enjoyed this piece, and appreciate the time and effort Mr. Costello and team have put into doing all the interviews and preparing the visuals, etc. It's interesting to finally get a closer look at some of the US Space Force's operations.
    A minor nitpick, but one that emphasizes the video's point about what's at stake with asteroid detection and deflection: at 39:20, the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor incident is incorrectly described as exploding over "a remote Russian village." Chelyabinsk is actually Russia's seventh-largest city, with over a million residents, and is situated on the main east-west highway and rail route along the country's vast southern border. (For comparison, its population would make it the 10th largest city in the U.S., after Dallas, TX.)
    If that meteor had exploded closer to the ground over the same spot, it would have released dozens of times more explosive energy than the nuclear bomb that leveled Hiroshima. The death toll and economic, transportation, & industrial effects would have been enormous, affecting the entire world.
    The same would of course be true if it happened over any sizeable city on Earth, and every place and every person is equally exposed to large rocks falling from space. Human civilization was lucky in 2013, but going forward it's better to work on countermeasures like those discussed in this video than to merely hope for continued good luck.

      so far, it is US only, with only minor contributions from other countries. SLS is too expensive for use. nowhere else is there an aircraft carrier thrown away after only one trip without a war. Even then, throwing one away is avoided if at all possible - it is brought back and repaired/improved before going out again.

    Everything I am as a Human has always been all about space! My Dad asked me when just a young child what I wanted to be when I grow up. I want to go to the Moon and other Planets. In the sixth grade, I had drawn an art pitcher of a full-scale underground Home with its own power station and power from the Sun. Capable of housing 25 people with unique suites in case of Nukual Fallout, floods, and any wind storms. The Home is known as a space station due to its flying ability. Later on in my life, I learned from a movie in the History of mankind The Germans named it the BELL spaceship. This drawing was so out of place to the teachers they had the act work on display for months. Who knows whatever happened to the act work. It all came from a movie made in German that depicted a space race of humans that were using Rockets that looked like the SS22, SS23, and SS24 and were also more powerful than any rockets we have to date! Much later in life, I will start telling people I'm building the computer components for a spaceship in the future. No day can pass without thinking about and researching some type of computer tech. Now that I could if needed build a computer from almost any spare parts I have what I need for a ship. Now what needs to happen is someone needs to get a base on the moon in my lifetime!

    I met Elon Musk in the summer of 2000 and we discussed many of these ideas. There isn't a smarter CEO that has done what Elon has done with Tesla or SpaceX by building his own Starships. Elon is building multiple Starships for the consideration of commercial space exploration and colonization. Some people think they are smarter than Elon but I have yet to see anyone outsmart him. Using methane and oxygen, also known as ultra cool methylox for his Starships Rockets was brilliant considering most planets we land on have the ingredients to propel the Starships further out of our solar system and back. Of course the use of hydrogen 3 in a nuclear fusion rocket would take us to the depths of our solar system and further a lot faster. Over the period of four to five years he can realign him self back in the winning seat because he's already aware of the steps he has to take and he's already making them! Elon Musk is making the world cleaner and better place to live for many generations to come. I don't know if you could say the same for the fossil fuel industry! Even though the businesses we talked about we're going to be incredibly difficult to become successful at and there was a good chance of failing. So we talked about ways of reducing advertising, manufacturing and distribution costs because Elon was going to move forward regardless. Innovative people with integrity expect to be believed otherwise they let time prove them right. So let's shoot for the Moon and Mars, then we will to live amongst the Stars!

      Evil people universally hate Elon, and all they do is troll the comments incoherently. I've been trying for a while to understand why people get so angry at him. What I've come up so far for a theory is that there's a stark distinction between those of us raised by parents who think philosophically and who care for truth, and for the common good, versus people who are brought up by parents who believe that being amoral, deceitful, cowardly and/or plain evil is smart, superior, and sets you to be a winner in life. This latter group are well over 50% of the population, I believe, and if they seem like nice people it's because they try to seem like nice people, but will stab you in the back the moment they see a way to profit from it.
      And so, historically, these people, whom I call "evil people" for lack of a better term, have had their beliefs confirmed again and again; and most people in positions of power today are evil people. Most of the truly nice people usually do not care to engage in dog eats dog to get ahead, so it's been usually the evil people that get ahead. What I think gets evil people so angry about Elon is the fact that he proves them wrong again and again, and that it is POSSIBLE to be truly nice AND successful too. It is the fact that Elon proves the foundations of evil philosophy wrong that really gets them triggered.

    As a "space race" kid (born in '59 to a military family, grew up watching all the Mercury and Apollo launches, etc) it is not surprising to me at all that after the initial "Look everybody, we're in SPACE!" wears off, it would become a strategic theater for the world's superpowers. You knew that was bound to happen.
    And then there's the economic side. Space-mining is destined to be the new Gold Rush, there's no doubt about it. SpaceX may be an early runner in that rush, but the they certainly won't be the last, and over time, will almost certainly be eclipsed by other companies, as always happens when a completely new industry starts mushrooming.
    It's going to be a very interesting next chapter in human history.

    Well, Neil is almost right, as always. He's right that the driver to exploration has to be either fear of death or getting rich; but he doesn't see the richness of Mars, which has the potential of eclipsing Earth. People often talk about asteroid mining; but asteroids are terribly difficult to mine due to the complete lack of atmosphere or any appreciable gravity. On Mars we have gravity, even if less than half that of Earth; and having gravity we can use all the typical tricks we use on Earth that depend on gravity, such as mobile equipment and trucks that roll on ground, such as conveyor belts, and we can trust that if we hit a mine wall the material will fall to the ground, where it can be picked up. Asteroids are a mess to work with, without gravity; everything flies away from you, there's no water, you live and go to the bathroom like people on the ISS. Nobody wants to do that. On Mars, not only you have gravity, water, and more sunlight, but asteroids are actually much closer to each other on Mars: every meteorite impact has a natural circle around it, marking the spot for you, making prospecting for metals as easy as drilling once at the center to know what lies below. And the thin atmosphere guarantees that most meteorites impacted whole, and are simply buried beneath in one piece, ... or in multiple pieces, but at least all bunched together. Shipping from Mars is a fraction of the cost of shipping from Earth, due to the thin atmosphere and low gravity; you get to space from Mars using a fraction of the fuel it takes to leave Earth. Mars is a mining bonanza, and the future IN-SPACE space industry, whether at LEO or elsewhere, will rely on Martian mining, refining and materials production for like 99% of their material input. Elon will own all of that, and basically will own all of space energy, transportation and resources. Naturally he will have his own military eventually, which no nation on Earth will dare challenge.

      Nope. To mine an asteroid, simply nudge its orbit so it impacts the moon. WAY easier than fighting Mars’ HUGE gravity and TREMENDOUS distance.
      And, of course, if one wants to mine already- impacted stuff, why go to Mars when the moon is next door?

      @@richardtheweaver4891 I don't think you'd get anywhere trying to obtain a permit to crash an asteroid on the Moon. "Mars' HUGE gravity"?!?! I think you are getting confused with Jupiter. As for "TREMENDOUS distance", distance in space is measured in required delta-V, unless you are in a hurry. Lastly, yes, the Moon is next door, but it is not really much closer to us than Mars in terms of delta-V (and who says that the orbital assembly industry will be orbiting Earth rather than Mars, in the first place?), and it's a much harsher environment than Mars, given that it suffers 14 days of blistering, sun-scorching day, followed by 14 days of super-freezing night (FAR colder than Mars, even at the poles); plus, radiation from the Sun is far worse on the Moon, as Mars has at least a bit of atmosphere to protect it. Another problem is thermal management: if you have electronics or motors that need cooling, for example, that's easy to do with a convection or forced wind (fan driven) aluminum dissipator, on Mars; but on the Moon you have ZERO atmosphere, which means you can only radiate heat, which means you have to spend energy pumping heat somehow, just like you have to do on the ISS, which is why it has radiator surfaces as big as its solar panels. Concentrating heat to elevate its temperature at the radiating surface is highly inefficient; you're in a thermodynamics paradox of diminishing returns. And that is for the very low heat production of a research space station; whereas if you are talking about high power tools such as for mining, then you're talking about TONS of excess heat needing to be radiated. Even a less than 1% atmosphere as on Mars is a HUGE help in thermal management compared to a full vacuum (which is another reason asteroid mining will likely never happen).

A similar border is visible between the US and Mexico.
    Yes, I can remember as a young kid being surprised to learn that the colors on a globe weren't real. They were just the way the globe had been painted and had no existence in the real world.
    The basic lesson the school taught us students was that Russia was over here, on this side of the glove, and America was on the opposite side. It was a good guys/bad guys relationship.
    In my case, this was complicated by the fact that I am genetically half Russian. In 1917 my father immigrated from Irkutsk (at the time, in Russia which soon to be the USSR).
