Space Race 2: Solar System Real Estate

I had this vision...
Mars... the Moon... and Asteroid Control...
In my eyes these three 'Space Realty' properties are up for grabs and our world's future depends whom they will belong to.
3 Top Contenders are in a scary battle for galactic dominance.

USA+ALLIES+(maybe UN... but lately... I'm not sure whose side they are on?)
CHINA+N.KOREA+TAIWAN+?+?
RUSSIA(supposedly an Ally but in today's world, everybody is "evolving")


  • USA+ALL COUNTRIES THAT SUPPORT NASA(including most private based space endeavors) is in possession of the ISS International Space Station, majority of satellite ownage/coverage, previous Moon Presence, and current Mars Presence)
  • CHINA has recently become a space exploring nation and are supposedly working on their own Space Station
  • RUSSIA (Space Race 1's 1 of 2 contendors that had some problems but could have taken it from the USA... RECENTLY announced that they will have a moon base by 2015 and possibly mine a rare isotope, Helium 3 by 2020)
Many US presidents have promised that we will go back to the moon and on to Mars. NASA has a plan that might give them and the USA a huge advantage but funding and public interest could be a huge problem.

The Real Estate:
Mars: for possible terraforming and slow colonization(could have enough resources to sustain itself)
Moon: Power Generator (microwaving the energy back to Earth and MOST space craft/satellites/devices/whatever)
Asteroids: A "Gold" mine of a resource. Could mean more control/power in the Solar System.

Let the game begin...
