I could see an energy race or big ramp-up, particularly around demand for reducing cost and vulnerability of energy systems.
It's already ongoing to some degree, but nations around the world can now see very clearly how their energy systems are of direct interest to their adversaries in conflicts. Adversaries looking for easy bargaining chips will attempt to capture or take down power systems, casually suppressing meaningful civilian activity while also thwarting a lot of defensive information insurgencies. (I'd be interested to see stats on the spread of viral content under various power/infrastructure circumstances, because a lot of this content is essentially in a race with other viral content to win info-battles)
This development could then kick crypto mining into very high gear.
It's interesting to me to see that we may be at a kind of threshold between the years when it was still possible to place your adversary back in the early 1900s technologically, and the years when such a thing will be very hard if not impossible, and will perhaps even become a war crime.
Edit: Regarding Mars, I'd say the situation more importantly/more likely could set us up for a long-term sustainable "relationship" with Mars but also the entire solar system, particularly if we can start to demonstrate and make use of meaningful presence on the Moon. It starts with efforts like Artemis / Gateway.
The rest of the world is doing just fine and in a space race themselves.
