An a** speaking. Ignorant one, of course. I don't know where you can write on the stone China is decades behind. NASA has focused on space exploration beyond the moon. That's true and that's where NASA leads. But with China's pace in space exploration, no one -- not even in NASA or ESA, claims China is decades behind. Only fools do. How about a Chinese claiming the US doesn't have a space station, doesn't have a actionable moon exploration plan, doesn't have a relay satelite to relay signals to/from the far side of the moon (NASA asked Chinese help a couple years ago to relay signals), doesn't have the quantum communication technology,..First of all, China is a long way to be NASA competitor. Probably a competitor of SpaceX would be more suitable
Second of all, NASA is not a military organisation, they are an exploration agency. they don't really do colonisation of outer space, NASA focus on deep space exploration. Such as discovering new universes that is outside the current solar system.
This is what NASA is doing
On the other hand, any outpost in the moon is more or less pointless without advancement of payload technology, of course you can establish an outpost in the moon, but then the question remain is how and what for? You need to be able to sustain an outpost, even with 2 men in a hut, you still need daily mission to carry supply for it, and for what? You can't launch rocket in space now because of de-linear orbit, Which does question why one would want an outpost on moon to begin with.
Maybe when we can carry more payload and land on moon, maybe if we can solve the gravitation pull issue, yes, we can start thinking about an outpost, but we are decades, if not few decades away
NASA is not military.. ?! LOL.. Only an idiot would believe that. Any NASA endeavors could turn into military as the US government wishes. Civilian, privately-owned Apple and Google could become militaristic (used by the US military to achieve its missions). How could an agency set up, operated, and funded by the government not militaristic when called for? Again only fools believe that.
Lastly, if setting up a moon outpost is useless and just a waste of money, why would NASA or the US government wants to return to the race with China to the moon? Hello!! Are you there? Why not let the Chinese waste their money and resources on useless moon parties. NASA shouldn't worry and continue its 'deep space' explorations.
