I agree. It was disgusting to see how many articles there were wondering if this means a new space race, and if the U.S. was falling behind.
They're only forty years late...

They're only forty years late...Except that they want to go, and will keep on going. We seem to have forgotten that we ever cared about it.
We should have had a permanent base on the moon 20 years ago and be exploring Mars by now. If the Chinese do it first, they should be applauded, and we should be embarrassed.
