The project that is considered a modern space exploration project rather than part of the Space Race or a future project is capture an asteroid. This concept has been explored in recent years by various space agencies, including NASA's concept of the Asteroid Redirect Mission, which aimed to capture a small asteroid and bring it into orbit around the Moon for study. The Space Race primarily involved the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union during the mid-20th century, focusing on achievements like launching satellites and landing on the Moon. Launching a space probe can refer to both historical and modern missions, but capturing an asteroid is a more recent and specific initiative.
