    To me the present race to the Moon isn't merely limited to Russia and India (as evidenced by the USA's Artemis program and China's various plans). The reason for it also seems pretty obvious to me. The lunar mare, the dark spots on the near side, are covered in what are called "KREEP basalts." The acronym stands for Potassium Rare Earth Element Phosphorous. It is those rare earth elements that countries wish to explore and "access."
    Mind you, that even though I think that some of the problems people bring up in regard to space mining are exaggerated, or are not well thought out, I will still readily admit that it is not economically viable to mine Rare Earth Elements on the Moon. As valuable as REEs are, prices are nowhere even remotely high enough to justify mining them anywhere in space including the Moon (IMO only the platinum group metals are valuable enough to possibly warrant that). No, the reason why this space race is happening is, at least partly, because of the benefits having strategic access to such minerals.
