Space race
Hello.
More than three weeks have passed since Crew Dragon delivered the astronauts to International Space Station.
In this regard, I want to congratulate Ilon Mask on this event. This is a big breakthrough for all of humanity. I would also like to wish him further success. Because achieving success, he inspires all other people to move forward.
It is unfortunate that he will never read this. Therefore, I want to congratulate all of us on this event. This is a congratulation, I hope someone read it.

Finish with congratulations and move on to discuss this event.
As Neil Armstrong said: That’s was one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. Indeed, after this event there was a revolution in space.
From this moment, America will be able to send astronauts into space themself. Until that moment, she did this with the help of Russian missiles, twice as much as the real cost. Yes, and the new American technology itself allows you to make launches more cheap.
And for Russia this is a reason for development. Now she has a competitor. True, now there are big problems with financing.
What is happening in the Russian space program is the topic of a separate article. But in short, this is total theft, corruption and low salaries among engineers and ordinary workers. In the region of 200–800 dollars. What rocket will a person collect, getting 300 dollars for a job?
If Russia had a real market economy, the space industry would perish thereafter. But government support will never allow this.
Special attention should be paid to the success of the Chinese space program, which is confidently moving forward. Plus India comes next.
It is a pity that the space industry is very slow. I would like to see this race soon.
