During the Cold War, competition between the the United States and the former USSR was fierce, as the two countries rallied for the chance to make history by getting to the moon first. In 1959, the Soviet Union beat the U.S. to become the first nation to reach the surface of the moon with its Luna 2 spacecraft. But, the United States was the first country to put man on the moon in 1969, and to this day is still the only nation to have landed people on the moon. To date, only five nations, the U.S., Russia, China, Japan and India, have completed a successful soft landing on the moon. But bolstered by evidence of the presence of water and other natural resources, many more nations and private companies are now seeking to get to the moon. And whoever is able to establish a significant lunar presence first could have big implications on Earth as well as the cosmos.

I am just living life to see this, this future.. Start of AI age, Space colonization, Virtual Reality.. This is just the beginning
Because Trump isn't there…
Looking forward to Visiting a Holiday Inn on our moon in a dome structure. We as tourists will enjoy dinner looking out at Earth. That is going to happen when major corporations work together world wide for development.. All paid for by Tourists and Governments supporting Corporate efforts.. Elon Musk is pushing the effort to do this in our lifetime..
Rushing back to a film studio on a military base?
Space is endless. The earth with 9 billion people running out of resources. Plenty to share with space travel.
Because once again they are in desperate need of funding for war and technology.
Finders Keepers Moon Edition
Seriously you guys are saying who is going to land on the moon you really think it's going to be China or Russia Both countries are too corrupt
Watch For All Mankind – an alternate history show where the Soviets landed on the moon first and the Americans responded by funding many more moon missions. Eventually they build bases on the moon and technology gets so advanced that they make it to Mars by the 90s.
We would have never known about water on the moon if it were USA or China mission.
Lets do it

Nice editing I guess
The USA moon landing was fake no one saw the landing site.
Naturaly space law will be enforced on earth with similar benifits and conflicts. But, Hey! we're human right? We've done this for ages.
I like the last sentence: the space exploration is for humanity not for a specific nation ❤
USA behind china. China will have first Lunar base. Whoever has the first base wins.
So that we can destroy another planet
This is an absolute mockery to humanity
Because the moon is a harsh mistress…
Videos related to space have the most braindead people in the comments. Kinda ironic.
Good for humanity
Uncle sam faked moon landing!! 😅
international community of how many ppl? 1billions? China alone is more than that, let alone all those exclusively from the so called international community. Your god wll not be happy. BTW who think the NASA director looks pure evil…. no kidding, pure evil devil looking
This is just big waste of money!
If this stuff fascinates you, you HAVE GOT to watch For All Mankind. Best show of recent years. 🚀
Aliens
the Cold War space race was a rush. A mad one, with a huge part of U.S. gdp invested in it.
the competition we have now? To call it a rush is a serious overstatement.
:- ) Russia on the Moon within 16 years :- ) No. Which is a good thing. They would steal half of the Moon and corruption would ruin the remaining half.
For all mankind
Civilization progression is far better than funding useless war 👍🏼
SPOILER ALERT : SPACEX IS THE ONLY ONE IS GOING TO DO ALL THIS :))))) AND THE REST WILL WATCH LIKE NOOBS :)))
Sorry but the moon and its resources 🇺🇸 belongs to us Americans we Americans were the first to send humans to the moon so therefore the moon and its resources are all ours also the outer space treaty is a joke and holds no actual legal basis.
British 💂 person 😂😂😂😂, they didn't have rocket boosters
😂😂
outer space treaty can be thrown out as soon as operations have been set. This treaty is only a handy cap for western countries.
Poor Moon – Canned Heat
I would've cared 30 years ago , but at this point its not happening.
