This is pathetic. Your people are dying, America, and this is what you do instead? Childish baby shit. So glad this empire is crumbling under its own bullshit. It's just a shame its bringing innocent people down with it.

How about a race to end world hunger ? Space is so 1960...

"What I'm concerned about is that we find water on the south pole of the moon, China gets there, and China says this is our area. You can't come here, it's ours."

Well now we know what America’s plan for the moon is

It would be funny if China psyoped the US into going to the moon, and China successfully makes it to Mars a week later

And just to salt the wound, the Chinese ship makes a stop at the US lunar base to top off the Helium-3 tank, throw a party and invite the US base workers, and give them a care package of wine and sweets because they had extra and figured the US could use a win.

More like a space chase, since the US has only ever chased after AES states once they start making serious progress.

China also has far larger ambitions for space than just landing on a rock. They want to utilize asteroids and, perhaps also the moon, for mining and possibly more, since that type of activity wouldn't harm our ecosystems back home.

-- 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 --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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