Don't worry, the US will make up some arbitrary milestone and then "win" the space race again.

China's planned "grab and go" architecture "does not give you the comprehensive look for the science community," Nelson said today.
"Will people say that there's a race?" he added. "Well, of course, people will say that. But it's two totally different missions."

Doesn’t count unless you get samples from multiple locations apparently.

China, 2350: a communist union of 108 prosperous planets

USA (in reality DC enclave): "It don't count unless you colonise at least two galaxy arms and a core. Also, China is not socialist."

"win" the space race again

My guess is near earth space militarism even if it's mostly pretend and they claim they put up "weapons ready" satellites or something. Maybe they'll even claim their "space laser weapons" using next gen technology is almost ready.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
