Let see, 50 years after the US went to the moon the CHIMCOMs are doing similar missions.

They've caught up to us. And may be passing us. It's not like we've done much in space since we went to the moon.

Thats quite some accomplishment, they steal virtually all the science from us and then “catch up”.

I don't know, back in the 80s I worked at a company called Martin Marietta durin the Star Wars program. We were building satellites the size of school buses with a platform on one end that had azimuth and elevation servos accurate to within a nanosecond of a degree. I did not have a clearance, but my guess is that kind of accuracy would only be useful for lasers.
