China's new Silk Road is coming. How will America compete? Hint: Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos

China's new silk road is coming, and it will change the world and make China the new world superpower. If you are not familiar, here is a good explainer.

I have heard that the project will ultimately cost more than the United States GDP--yes that is more than $18 trillion.

Meanwhile, Bezos and Musk are taking us back to space. This time, we'll make some money doing it. Yes, the space-tourism will be hot, but the real money will come from mining asteroids.

"The moon, for example, is abundant in Helium-3, an extremely rare element on Earth that could theoretically be used as fuel in future nuclear fusion plants," writes Dan Tynan for The Guardian. "Asteroids are typically chock full of iron, nickel, cobalt, platinum and titanium."

That's right, a new gold rush is coming and I believe the United States is fully prepared to capitalize with these two brilliant minds leading the charge.
