埃隆.马斯克与杰夫.贝佐斯正在展开一场针锋相对的月球争夺战,两人之间的较量只会愈发激烈。在筹谋登陆火星多年后,马斯克上周出人意料地宣布,SpaceX正将把重心转向月球,希望打造一座“能够自我成长的城市”。这让他与竞争对手贝佐斯站到了同一个太空阵营,贝佐斯一直认为,专注于月球项目会给他的火箭公司蓝色起源(Blue Origin)带来优势。这位亚马逊(Amazon)创始人长久以来一直在宣扬建设月球基地的好处,包括在月球建厂。
这场直接竞争势必会激起更火爆的21世纪太空竞赛,而这一次的竞赛将在当前这个时代真正的“超级力量”-两个亿万富翁之间展开。多年来,马斯克和贝佐斯一直在多个领域展开竞争:打造各自的可重复使用火箭、争夺美国国家航空航天局的合同(包括登月项目),以及比拼谁对星辰大海的构想更具吸引力。他们各自偏好的登陆目标-月球与火星-也在更广泛的航天界内部划出阵营。马斯克在许多方面似乎都占据上风。SpaceX已经建立起占主导地位的发射业务和低地轨道卫星网络。一项火星任务原本也要在今年进行。
