Our Space Race to the Moon against the Soviet Union wasn't actually about going to the Moon.

Quite true. Similarly, China's lunar objectives aren't about going to the Moon either.

True, but pointless. They're 35 years late.

But it will be fun to watch them this time, My father said I saw the first one on TV, but I was only a few months old. And it will be even more enjoyable ( think Icarus ) when they fail spectacularly. Nevertheless I hope they use the latest STOLEN technology and PIRATED software. I wouldn't want any of their pilots (like those fine folks that clipped our recon plane) to die horribly, yeah,that would really be upsetting.
