Nobody said anything about winner or losers.

To put it differently, if everyone is a winner that is not a problem, the problem is the trophies have to come out of somewhere, and if everyone can keep getting the next trophy, well then, we might run out of resources to keep making trophies.

It is in my view, the main problem with capitalism, sustainability. That is, unless we colonize the stars.

It's definitely not happening now. All we have are a handful of research stations which require an absurd amount of resources flown up from Earth. We don't have anything even close to sustainable space operations like fuel synthesis, mining, or factories in space.
