Yeah, they could. But they have gone far beyond that. It would be a mistake to think that the Chinese lack engineering talent. The future in space is China, on the moon, in orbit, and on Mars. If anyone is to blame for anything, Congress has lacked vision to task NASA with anything of the slightest interest to science or to the taxpayer.
