NASA =
For thirty (30!) years it went up, and it came down and WTF did we get out of it (except 14 dead astronauts)?

Unexceptional: China becomes the third country to land a spacecraft on the moon in preparation for a manned visit. Meanwhile, U.S. astronauts have to ride Russian spacecraft to fix toilets on the International Space Station. Tourists visiting the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where one of America´s retired space shuttles now resides, were no doubt able to see news reports of the landing of China´s first lunar vehicle, a solar-powered rover, on the surface of the moon. The landing of the rover 37 years after the last such mission by the Soviet Luna 24 sample-return voyage in 1976 makes China just the

The list, Ping

Whitey on the moon

We can’t afford to borrow the money from China for a space program.
no. China lands on moon ... while Obama “transforms” NASA to work instead on “enhancing Islamic pride”
(see news cycle of a couple years ago, someone can probably post a link here...)
Why would the Chinese lie about the moon landing probe. They only faked their entire spacewalk. Watch some of the youtube videos. They are pretty hilarious with bubbles floating around them. It’s as staged as any Obama event.
We order #7 on menu on moon!
Guess all Gil Scott Heron’s problems are solved now.
All your moon are belong to us!
No more “Whitey on the moon”
China moves forward while obamaramadingdong and his worshipers and sycophants do all they can to drag us backwards, and what really sucks is the leadership of the GOP helping them.

Now it is “Yellowy on the moon”.
Because this is the Obama ERA that cares more about faux-cool than actual progress!
It just shows that China can reach anywhere in the US with their rockets. OTOH, how much moon dust can you analyze? China could have offered to buy reports about the moon from us at a fraction of the cost of going there.
When the moon hits your eye like a big Peking Duck ...
We don’t do that superpower stuff anymore.
Not since our pathetic decline into banana-republic status, and morphing into Homo-America. But, wow, who cares? We offer to the world great things like Miley Cyrus twerking at Santa Claus’ crotch! Yay! USA!
China is the wave of the future. Slaves, lots of slaves doing the hard work will always beat out free men who want a decent wage. tyranny is also the wave of the future—just ask any Obama Supporter who would like hime to rule by decree (Latin Americans want this—make all illegals Citizens by decree! They might not like it when Millions of Chinese come to the uSA and become citizens—and all the signs are in Manduran.
Right. How many landers do we have on Mars? Orbiters around Mars? Jupiter? Talking about the Space Shuttle and the Moon in the same sentence is absurd anyway. The Shuttle never left low earth orbit.
For all you doom and gloomers wailing about the U.S. Space program, defense, missiles and rocketry - come to Huntsville.
