Yeah, but does China’s space program have good Islamists relations and promotions?

Seize the high ground.
And there isn’t any ground higher than the Moon.
Space is about to be both politicized and militarized.

Personally, I look forward to a decent Chinese Restaurant on the Moon. Can the era of interplanetary take-out be far off? Perhaps the American fast food industry should be placed in charge of what’s left of our “Space Program.”

In the 80’s, when I was a bright-eyed young Zoomie, America was talking about what we were going to build on the Moon, and when the first human was going to walk on Mars, within our lifetimes.
Now we are talking about how much longer we can print unbacked money to keep the EBT cards working, to prevent the Gimme Dat’s from rioting, and to keep them voting Democrat.
It is a sad fall we have witnessed, and it is OUR FAULT, folks.

I heard NASA say that it would take ten years to develop a booster to get back to the Moon. i said, did they throw the plans to the Saturn V out.

It's amazing what one can do with technology stolen from other nations. 25 years ago, the chinese were smelting iron in clay pots, and claiming it was the new steel industry. Now, thanks to western corporations, and BJ Clinton giving them the keys to the US patent office, the chinese can steal and utilize the latest and greatest technology the US has to offer, for free!
Oh, and if you are worried about china cashing in all of the 1.3 trillion dollars in treasury bonds they hold, don't worry, because they have ALL of the manufacturing facilities that the stupid Americans moved to china as collateral. Say goodbye to all of those iphones, and pretty much all of the other consumer products you currently use, including all of the tech goodies.

As our space program, once an example of American exceptionalism, now sits mainly in museums... Says who? I would argue our space program is more robust than ever.
Beijing's ambitious program takes another leap forward toward an eventual return of man to the moon.
Whoopee! They're doing what we did 45 years ago with much more primitive technology.

“I heard NASA say that it would take ten years to develop a booster to get back to the Moon. i said, did they throw the plans to the Saturn V out.”
They lost a significant amount of the documentation. The people who built it are either dead, or too old to fill in what’s missing.
NASA, as it’s currently constituted, couldn’t build a Saturn V or equivalent.

I was here when offshoring was a hot issue. A few of us were constantly berated because the majority of freepers thought offshoring was great. It would free us up for better jobs. Bah! There’s not much consolation for being right on this one.
