Dunno, the footrace is over, as near as I can tell. We're coming up on the St. Augustine/Roanoake period of spaceflight. We've got a foothold in the Canary Islands (the ISS) and we've had a few touch and go arrivals in Hispaniola (the Apollo program), and we're coming up on the first tenative long term landfalls.
