The Chinese may be next — they will never be first — and they believe they will be next, but IMHO, they won’t be able to pull it off.
I doubt the Chicoms will waste the huge amount of money it would require to put a man on the moon. Military spending would be a much more judicious way to allocate the money. Especially if FReepers stay at home and not vote for the Rino and 0bama gets another term to completely destroy the US military.
