Ingenuity is a small robotic helicopter deployed to Mars that is planned to make the first powered flight on any planet beyond Earth.

Part of NASA's Mars 2020 mission, Ingenuity is planned for deployment in April 2021, about 60 days after landing with the rover Perseverance in the crater Jezero at Octavia E. Butler Landing on 18 February 2021.

The small drone rotorcraft will test NASA's Mars helicopter technology, with the potential to scout locations of interest and support the future planning of driving routes for Mars rovers.
The helicopter is attached to the underside of the rover. After deployment, the rover is expected to drive approximately 100 m (330 ft) away from the drone to allow it a safe "buffer zone" in which it will attempt to fly in April 2021

Upcoming in the next years? Nasa has been developing a huge new rocket transport system called the Space Launch System (SLS) to launch astronauts to the Moon - and other missions beyond
Is there a new space-race?? there does not seem to be a 'Race' like the cold war but China has people in space, space stations, it had a series of plants growing inside a robot on the Moon, it has plans for Mars.
China is not racing, they are moving slowly gaining with each step youre talking later in a much longer game... 2030, 2040-2050s timeline
Russia has made a comeback since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there are others Japan, India, Europe, Brazil, South Korea who have their own space ambitions.

Good for them.

At least somebody has some good news in 2021.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.
