The global race to the moon is on again

The global race to the moon is on again

During RN's Science Week we focus on the business of space and the new global race to put people on the Moon. The space economy is predicted to be worth $US1.8 trillion in ten years time and one of the first steps is the construction of a Lunar Gateway, serving as a pathway to Mars. So what are the likely benefits for us on earth from this re-energised space race?
