Mars race

This article is about space competition. For the 2007 TV miniseries, see Race to Mars. For a race of people on Mars, see Martian.

The Mars race,[1] race to Mars[2][3] or race for Mars[4] is the competitive environment between various national space agencies, "New Space" and aerospace manufacturers involving crewed missions to Mars, land on Mars, or set a crewed base there. Some of these efforts are part of a greater Mars colonization vision, while others are for glory (being first), or scientific endeavours. Some of this competitiveness is part of the New Space race.
