The Space Crisis - Elijah Horne

For decades after Apollo, the United States drifted while other nations advanced. China built a modern lunar program. Russia weaponized orbit. Foreign media seeded doubt about America's greatest achievement. And the U.S. - once the unquestioned leader - found itself reacting instead of shaping the future.

The Space Crisis examines how that vacuum formed, who exploited it, and why the next decade will determine who controls the most strategic territory beyond Earth. Elijah Horne traces the collapse of America's post‑Apollo industrial base, the rise of foreign influence campaigns, and the geopolitical forces driving a new Moon race.

Clear, grounded, and unsentimental, this book explains the real contest unfolding in space - and what it will take for the United States to remain in front.
