Imagine - Russia and China work together to build a Lunar station, Lunar base and the Earth orbital station. Then announce their plans for a joint mission to build a Mars base...

Plausible, about a year ago.
Personally, I would like to see an India, Japan, South Korea alliance to build a small Space Station ... they all have Rocket programs and Technology Sectors and Industrial capacity ... and they are all underrated for them. Then let SpaceX start regular service to the SEAsia LEO Station and see who can bootstrap "next steps" from that ... like a refueling depot ... Lunar Orbit Station (from which to launch Lunar Landers) ...
India with either of the other two is plausible.
Japan and South Korea together seems unlikely for historical reasons.

Japan, as I recall, started their rocket programme for two reasons, American restrictions on jet research, and, besides commercial applications, as part of a turnkey programme to have nuclear warheaded ballistic missile deterrence, just in case.
So, more in common with North Korea.
It's more likely that under an American umbrella, that South Korea and Japan might have a cooperative space programme, rather than trying to navigate Indian industrial and bureaucratic hurdles.

... and now we see why they have not done it yet.
(sort of like the way a joint China-Russia Space Program makes perfect sense but will never happen for bureaucratic reasons ... or a USAF/NASA joint Rocket.)

I know Mike is expecting Elon to drive the cost of space travel down so we can mine in space. The cost of investment is far outstripping the returns for Elon's many hugely capital intensive businesses pointing toward a discouraging end game

Right now, my money's on Fallout.
Btw, the characters in my BeltStrike campaign are ramping up to mining the platinum group metals in their asteroid very soon - they have a habitat for 48 miners and an ore processor in a converted x-boat tender on station, ready to extract PGMs from Ni-Fe.

Between MATRIX and DUNE, I choose dessert.
Not even Gibson?
Darn.
We had a choice: steak or fish.
Ah yes, I remember. I had lasagne.

Pretty sure pasta isn’t a thing on Dune.
Surely it's not. And, yeah, I'll stop calling you Shirley.
