Sic itur ad astra – wyścig Chin o dominację ekonomiczną i technologiczną w przestrzeni kosmicznej
Sic itur ad astra: China’s race for economic and technological dominance in space

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this study is to show the growing importance of space in the economic context. The article is an attempt to answer the question of whether China has a chance to win the race for economic dominance in space in the coming years. The method used in the article is descriptive and explanatory research and primarily cause-and-effect analysis. The thesis derived from the aim of the research is that space has become a critical area of economic competition between China and the United States. Although it was only in 2013 that China managed to do what the US did 50 years earlier, the Chinese space program clearly has accelerated in the 2020s. By 2030, China plans to establish a research station on the moon, because the helium-3 found on its surface, as a safe, efficient source of energy, could revolutionize the energy industry on Earth.
