SpaceX and other American companies are dramatically outpacing foreign competitors in satellites and rocket launches, while U.S. software companies command enormous global valuations. American firms are also leading emerging fields such as genetic engineering and advanced medical technology.

Despite decades of predictions about American decline and the rise of China and Europe, the United States has strengthened its position in many of the technologies that will determine global prosperity, security, and power in the decades ahead. Here’s more from Victor Davis Hanson.

Starbase: A New Texan Town!
