Will China land humans on the Moon before America returns? Zimbabwe will land humans on the Moon before America returns.

They’ve got the benefit of our experience so I doubt it would take them long.
They might as well since we’ll be paying for it.

Imagine the final prices when the Chinese astronauts put up artifacts from Tranquility Base on Ebay!

The American left will cheer this as much as the Chinese. To the American left, this is more evidence that communism works.

If I were president I would push congress to free up private industry in space with tax free status for all industries working directly on things that would take them to space.
I would suggest that interested industries make a real competition out of it by putting up prize money for various things like first to circumnavigate mars either on the surface or flying within its atmosphere.

So what? Just say, “Been there, done that already! You are simply 45 years behind the times! Try to catch up with the USA!” ;-)

There is prize money related to building a space elevator.

Well, since the US has turned its back on the future in favor of an endlessly expanding welfare state, best wishes to the Chinese. A moon base will open up great opportunities to the countries who colonize the Moon and they will write the history books.

Yeah there are various prizes for space related things but government getting out of the way would drive the money and competition to new heights.

It is sad to think that the US had the technology and the national will to land men on the moon and return them safely nearly 50 years ago, yet we haven't been back in more than 40 years. Imagine if the Wright brothers 1903 success had been treated that way...man would still not be flying in 1953.

Do you all realize how much we would be hosed if they start going up there? Seriously, they will start to mine the resources and dare anyone to tell them not to.

Will China land humans on the Moon before America returns? Who cares? Nothing there but rocks and dirt - nothing of value at all.
