Of course by 2030, it’s questionable whether either the US or Chinese economies will support such efforts.
Black astronaut says lunar mission will be ‘major accomplishment’ in American history
If you take my class’ picture — the eight of us that were selected — and you put it next to the next smallest class, the original Mercury Seven, they chose the same [type of] person seven times.
It was seven, white, male, military, English-speaking test pilot Christians, that were the same height, weight, roughly. I mean, they were all about 37 years old.
And so my class was four men, four women, racially, gender diverse, different backgrounds, scientists, engineers, military officers, and some pilots. So, it’s a sign of progress. We should continually take steps forward.
The core of the program, the Space Launch System, is well behind schedule and well over-budget. Better hope that Musk gets the Starship flying well (and that NASA lets him fly the Orion on it or gives up and rides an enhanced Dragon capsule instead) if you want anything in lunar orbit to greet the Chinese.
