  No one country has a monopoly in space exploration.  Any country with the
intelect, resources, resolve, dedication, desire and money can explore space.  
If a country doesn't have most of these, than the closet they'll get to space
is their nearest TV set when they watch the launch of another country's rocket.
The bottom line here is: If you can, do it, if not, make some popcorn, sit back,
and watch.
