I'm no pessimist; just a realist.
Let's say that China opens up and becomes a democratic republic...
Let's say that China stays communist...
Either way they out-number us---they're a massive giant that has its eye on having a bigger role in the world!
I can only hope this launch will energize our space agency and the populace (especially our young people) to want a piece of the space action.
I know I'm dissapointed--- where are our Mars colonies?!!!

The real question is will Chinese socialism ever beat American socialism. Seeing how they have about 4x the population that we do and what with us fueling their economy of small nick-nacks, I can see it happening.
