The positioning of nations and companies in space.




The Japanese company Honda, famous for its motorcycles and cars, has now also entered the space industry and has developed this rocket. From the images, they are from June 17, the rocket has a vertical landing and reached 300 meters in height. It is a prototype, but it seems that the company wants to follow a line similar to that of Space X.


The test was a success, it is not that it reached space, but it took off well and landed correctly, well as you see the Honda company, in addition to motorcycles and cars, we are also going to have space rockets, this is also significant, what the space industry in this century is emerging.


Keep in mind that the space industry, like other industries, initially began with space satellites, these were the work of governments, it was public money that was invested in launching rockets into space, the first ones were almost a matter of propaganda, because they included a radio signal and little else, but then there were the issues of espionage, the issues of strategic communications, communications with submarines, for example, nuclear that were being developed at that time.




Starting in the 80s, the development of the space satellite industry began at a commercial level for television channels, radio broadcasts, etc. and now we are living in the era of space satellite constellations for geopositioning, for the Internet, for a lot of services and this is only the beginning, the next step will no longer be only the Earth's orbit but also the manufacturing of materials and substances in space and that could also occur in lunar orbit and perhaps on Mars, why not.


The conquest of the Moon is no longer a propaganda or scientific issue, nor to bring samples from the Moon or to put up the flag and say "We have come this far with our technology" as was the case in the 60s and 70s, but it is a movement to take a position on the moon for when that moment arrives that told you that lunar resources are going to be essential for the development of industry and the manufacturing of products in space.

China is another nation that is up in this race, and has its ship that is going to travel to the moon, here I present it to you, assembled not only with the spacecraft itself, but also with the landing module and the last thing we have is the test. The test that occurred yesterday are images provided by the Chinese manned space engineering office, these are images are from June 17, these are the emergency abort tests of the Mengzhou spacecraft, which will take humans, Chinese astronauts to the moon

In some media they call Chinese astronauts taiconauts, especially in the United States, but it is a somewhat strange invention, in China they use the term astronauts in the press releases in the English version, and also if we think about it it is a bit absurd, we cannot go around changing the term of a baker, a firefighter or a doctor depending on the country of origin, of that baker, doctor, firefighter; That's what he calls astronaut.


Another debate if you want is astronaut or cosmonaut since the Russians were the first to place the first man in space, it was a Russian cosmonaut so the term should rather be cosmonaut, there we can enter into the debate, but it should be a single term.
