Why are Russia US & India racing to space?

VIDEO INTRODUCTION: In the past 3 years, we have seen some of the most sensational space events in the world, Elon Musk has been launching rockets one after the other, India and Russia are aggressively pursuing their moon mission, US is about to launch its moon mission in 2025 and even China and Japan are preparing for the same. But while most people might think this to be yet another exploration move, Very few people realize that it has a geopolitical angle to it!! If You don't believe me, look at this, In November 2019, NATO declared space as one of the warfighting domains. France changed the name of its Air Force to the Air and Space Force and Russia combined its air force, anti-air, and antimissile defenses into the Aerospace Forces in 2015. So do you realize what's happening, Space is literally turning into a frontier of warfare!!!
So all this drama is not just scientific discovery but also about having that extra advantage during times of war!! So the space race has a very significant geopolitical implication in the 21st century!!! So the question is,
How did space suddenly turn into a frontier of geopolitical power?
Which are the most strategic points that superpowers of the world are racing towards?
and where does India stand in this drama???
