Around 50 years after the first moon landing, humanity is on the verge of the next big step: conquering space. NASA is planning a station in lunar orbit, and China and India are also pushing into space. Space tourism is no longer a utopian dream, and SpaceX boss Elon Musk is sending his Starlink satellites into orbit and wants to colonise Mars.
