spacecraft for the benefit of life on earth. space is an integral part of society. our way of working only functions with satellites for telecom, for navigation, for earth observation, for weather forecasting, for many things. so, we need the satellites for our daily life. the country that first sent a person into space is crashing back to earth, because of its war in ukraine. if russia doesn t partner up with another nation l or field its own space station, which given the current - circumstances and sanctions i is quite unlikely, it might not have any crewed space flight. what became a story of collaboration is now once again one of competition and conflict. china has its own space station. india wants one. and private companies are getting in on the act, too, sending up their own rockets. i m pallab ghosh, the bbc s science correspondent. come with me on a journey into the future of human exploration, and the new space race. archive: long before man had mastered the earth,
different this time around. 0n the back of the cold war, we saw the space race, because, in essence, this was about the missiles attached and the rockets attached to the space flight programmes, so every single space launch was a show of power. and obviously we still see power playing out in space and space stations play a huge part in that too. three, two, one boosters and ignition. ..and liftoff of artemis i! we rise together back. to the moon and beyond. currently, america s space spending still dwarfs china s. nasa s latest mission, artemis, has begun and is ambitious. it s a long term commitment. the eventual aim is to have a human outpost on the moon by 2030. and it comes at a colossal price $93 billion with the american taxpayer footing the bill. the budget of nasa is increasing every year by 6%, 7%, 8%. if i take china, the missions
single space launch was also a show of power. and obviously we still see soft power playing out in space and space stations play a huge part in that too. three, two, one boosters and ignition. ..and lift off of artemis i! we rise together back. to the moon and beyond. currently, america s space spending still dwarfs china s. nasa s latest mission, artemis, has begun and is ambitious. it s a long term commitment. the eventual aim is to have a human outpost on the moon by 2030. and it comes at a colossal price $93 billion with the american taxpayer footing the bill. the budget of nasa is increasing every year by 6%, 7%, 8%. if i take china, the missions to the moon, the missions to mars, the human space flight
