Spending less on exploration because we can’t afford it (we’re borrowing trillions we don’t have) doesn’t mean China wins. It means other countries will continue their exploration while they can afford it. We’ll continue ours on a smaller budget with an eye toward true winning — military space exploration. All good.

It is too expensive to send robotic mission to retrieve the rock samples, so they will send humans to bring them back instead? Why is it every decision this administration makes is not just wrong, but bizarro world bat shit crazy wrong.

I worked on a project building a new facility for MSR. Kind of insane it may never be used for MSR now and either mothballed or repurposed for something less efficient.

I bet If the press asked him why he is allowing China to beat us in Space he would definitely get angry and hopefully backtrack versus asking why they are not going to continue the mission.
He cares more about how he looks vs actually doing good.

Americans are going to regret being so far behind.

I don’t understand why we are letting one moron make all the decisions with zero debate. Like we really believe Trump is the smartest guy? I’m sorry but it’s all of our fault for letting this happen, we are a country of dummies. Only hope is the midterms to see if people come to their senses or not. Gonna be hard to undo all of the damage.

Science is for other nations to pursue. America has chosen religious doctrine and xenophobia.

Great idea! Weren’t we just talking about Apophis again? No matter, E.L.E. coming soon …. I hope. I have had it with our idiocy. Only a major event will get us back on track if we can rebuild.

I’m pretty sure China will have Taikonauts on moon by the end of this decade and their moon base started construction before Artemis even comes close to have a crewed landing on the moon at the rate the US is going.

I don’t like the CCP but why should I be mad if China accomplishes some amazing milestone in space?
Space science and exploration is one of the obvious areas we should be rooting for everyone. I wish it was less politicized.

I don’t care, I am rooting for China’s space program at this point, a sample return, is a sample return, even as an American citizen in the 60s, I would have still been totally fine with the Soviets landing a man on the moon first, as long as it happened, I would be happy.

If NASA wanted to keep their respect, they shouldn’t have stopped inspiring humanity.
