The Chinese have the natural resources to put a man on the moon. Frankly, given the propaganda value, they may attempt to put the first woman on the moon as an example of the "People's Progress" and "equality" of Chinese women to White men.
No joke.
I was predicting a Chinese crewed spacecraft in 1984. I missed by 20 years, but it is coming true.
It appears that the Chinese Communists have succeeded in ripping the space technology from the US and Russians.
They've got their program on a fraction of the cost of ours.
We did the R&D and the Chinese are flying.
What a crying shame.
