By 2030 there should be more lunar infrastructure than in 1969.
It should be our moon, American territory. We should destroy any Chinese craft seeking to go there. Okay, probably can’t and won’t do that, but too bad we didn’t capitalize on our moon landings so many years ago.
60 years late.
For centuries Chinese sailors roamed the seas, reaching as far as the east coast of Africa and up into the Red Sea. Then about 1450 A.D. the Confucian bureaucracy prohibited all such exploration on the grounds that it did not benefit the Emperor enough to justify the expense.
Now the roles are reversing, (unless our private space ventures bear fruit and aren’t cancelled by our own selfish leftists).
So, they did not specify whether the guys they put on the moon would arrive dead or alive?
Or, be able to come back?
Does anyone else find it out that it has been 50+ years since we have gone to the moon and today we are told we need to develop new technology to get back?
I thought Moon Base Alpha has already been built on the moon back in 1999. Commander Koenig was in charge last I knew.
If DWA is any indication, they’ll stop short then crash into it.
Moon missions are for ascendant nations. The US is too weak, woke and broke for ventures like that anymore. Let’s concern ourselves with more pressing issues here on earth.
Good luck with Chinese on the moon, they can’t even get an aircraft carrier to work... All words.
NASA did it in less than 7 years last time.
I bet Musk could do it now, if he wanted to.
Like that fake video of a Chinese spacewalk ?
That's not the hard part.
The hard part is getting them back alive.
China will put bodies on the moon. No return flight.
