Generally all great empires are a continuation of previous empires.

The Greek empire continued in the form of the Roman empire, the roman empire broke apart with one part taken over by various European tribes and the other continuing as the Byzantine empire.

The European tribes managed to grow enough as to go to the US and mix their genetics together there and form the next greatest empire in the world.

Now, the US being the greatest current empire in the world, the next great empire will be an obvious continuation of the US empire.

The US does not intend to take over any further land on Earth, so where does it go? To the moon of course.

It's free real estate, and only the US has the technology to access it and keep it.

The total area of the moon is 38 million square kilometers. Which is surprisingly a little smaller than the total land area of Asia.

The US is expected to set up a moon base before 2030.

China is the only country with plans to set up a moon base by 2035.

The new age of exploration is the race to colonize the moon.

If the US successfully colonizes the moon, and China fails to do so, and the US successfully manages to mine the moon, that would secure prosperity for their empire for generations to come.

The US is obviously going to successfully do it.

China is less likely to pull it off, as they are trying to set up a moon base in collaboration with Russia, which clearly does not have the competency to be able to pull off a project this big in scope and ambition.

In conclusion:

The US is going to take over the moon within this century.

Glory to the US.

The next stage of white flight is upon us.
