space race and achievement proof
Could China draw upon the lessons of Apollo to reach for the Moon?
"Why not?" Aldrin concluded. "It's not secret, nor is it classified. It is open to the world." I tink the most important argument to convince people that man already landed on the moon is "otherwise the soviets wouold have exposed it - after all they were also in the race".
It looks like soon we will see a second similar argument coming : "the chinese also did it" ...
Well I'm glad that now people are clever enough to pose questions about Galileo crashing in Jupiter.

Yes, that's right. China will be the first country to land men on the moon. According to some bright lights.

For a second there, I thought that was a propaganda image of a burning Chinese manned vehicle.
I share the hope for this astronaut's safe journey.
On the other hand, I do not share the commonality of "enjoying" seeing another nation match our accomplishments in space.
