The Spac race has gone from trying to get to the moon to trying to get to mars

From the Space Race, we got many useful inventions such as solar panels, filtration systems, artificial limbs, etc.
The Space Race could also be compared to heavy competition in the consumer economy. In the past ¨trends¨ could last for tens of years but today we can get ¨mirco trends¨ that can last for only a few months
