Imagine a space race where the US had a revolution in 1932, and the space race was like a gentleman's contest between the USSA, USSR, and PRC to find cool shit first to get the record book W before sharing it with all the nations of the world.

actual research colonies! exploiting resources just to explore further, not to make money! space industry, but just to build a United Earth fusion-powered interstellar probe!
