NASA chief says China could claim the moon as its own territory if it beats the US to the lunar surface

It is amazing that US landed on the Moon 50 years ago but cannot repeat that feat now.

It amazing China supposedly built an indigenous spaceship on their own but has only recently fielded a fighter jet engine.

Fighter jet engine is easy to make but not easy to make if you want to make a world class one. Hell, not even Germany can make a world class engine.

well they are somehow different in the endurance department if you want a practical fighter jet engine

NASA now has a fully functioning super heavy lift rocket and crewed spacecraft capability. Only major piece left is the landing system.

NASA are many years ahead of China. I expect NASA astronauts to be back on the Moon by 2026, maybe 2027 if there are setbacks.

I thought you had already occupied the moon, but after all these years you fail to go back to where you had occupied decades ago?

Tell me you jokers landed on the moon and i will believe it, i promise.

During the time period the US “failed” to go back to the Moon, NASA managed to visit every planet in the Solar System.

Yeah...But we did not land humans on them, so those are 'failures' as well.

Provided that they did land on the moon, Given its track record the west especially the US has zero credibility... Anything that comes out of the US or its cronies take it with a truckload of salt.

Maybe he has intelligence that China is way ahead.

Only a perfect state nutjob can give a damn about that.

People living from public money is the cancer of any human society.
