Actually competition is what drives technology and progress. Watch as someone lands on the moon and speaks mandarin, then watch next week as someone else puts a base up there or says in ten years we will land a man on Mars and bring him back. Once the Russians stopped being interested in the Moon the US dropped the Lunar program like a hot potato, but watch someone else go back and you will see the competitive spirit start up again.
