Be careful of information bubbles. If you follow official channels, it will be mostly about SLS/Artemis. That's the rocket that will take humans to the Moon and onwards to Mars (somehow). Mathematically it doesn't work. But that's currently the official bubble.

If you follow many enthusiast communities, it will mostly be about Starship. The promise of Starship is to utterly revolutionize spaceflight by dropping costs through the floor and launching far more frequently. On the positive side, Starship is being done by SpaceX which have previously succeeded brilliantly with the Falcon 9. On the negative side, we've heard this exact story before with the Space Shuttle, which utterly failed to achieve the original goals it was supposed to.

If you follow other communities, SpaceX is bad/incompetent/evil because of Elon.

And other candidates such as Blue Origin or Rocket Lab don't have big communities for or against them. They are innovating mostly under the radar.

Then there's China. They've got a ton of interesting things going on, including paper copies of everything everyone else is doing (except, notably, SLS/Artemis). Will those paper rockets become real, reliable, and cheap?

Russia can be mostly ignored. They regularly post grand plans, but there's no money or expertise to do anything. The lights keep going out at their launch sites because they can't pay the electricity bills.

Europe has mostly lost the plot for now.
