I WELCOME the Chinese to the "Space Race!!

ANYTHING that gets our cowardly Congress to agree that we should Go Back to the Moon--& ON to Mars--is Good.

It seems that our "Fearless Leaders" have a PROBLEM with the "Future!"

There is, apparently, NO UNDERSTANDING OF the Potential of Human Endeavor--especially with regard to the Exploration & Colonization of Space!!

Either we "Join &/or Surpass" the current Chinese Manned Space Program, or we Stand Aside, & Watch the Chinese Dominate "The Skies!!"

Willy-Nilly, we are NOW in ANOTHER "SPACE RACE!!!"

SO BE IT!!

Either we go BACK TO THE MOON,--& ON TO MARS,--or the "Language of EarthCentric Space Exploration" will be CHINESE,--NOT ENGLISH!!

If our "Political Leaders" CANNOT UNDERSTAND the Simple Equation I Just Created, then I Fear "Western Civilization" will NOT BE a "Factor" in the Future Exploration of our near Space.

We are NOW on the "Cusp" of Human expansion to the Stars!

We "Go to the Stars" as a "Creature," or we Involute--& Perish.

I'm ON OUR SIDE;--I BELIEVE THAT we have EARNED the RIGHT to CONTINUE!!

WE ARE WORTH SAVING,--& we ARE worthy of future Considerations of our behavior--, & we have EARNED the RIGHT to objective analysis of ANY of our Decisions!

Even if we ever get back to the lunar surface, which we should have never abandoned, our so-called leaders and Congress would probably make them remove the American flag that we left behind, so as not to offend anyone....

Language of EarthCentric Space Exploration" will be CHINESE,--NOT ENGLISH!!

Might explain the appearance and hieroglyphics of some of those UFO based alien beings, the "greys"; some speculate that they're humans from the future - hence their appearance? ;)
