US and allies should beat China in space race to assure rules-based order there: experts and lawmakers
Country that lands on moon first will be able to set precedent for whether later lunar activities are open or restricted, says House space panel chair.
US can't manage to assure rules based order on planet earth
The international rules-based order: where the US makes the rules and orders everyone else around.
Don't worry guys, if we ever discover FTL space travel, the USA has a plan in place to ensure outer space will remain a corporate monopoly just like on Earth ^/s
Speaking at the paper’s launch, Bridenstine believed it was important to create communication channels, noting that Nasa was not allowed to directly engage with its Chinese counterpart without congressional approval.
Critical support for the US govt. ostracizing itself for sinophobic and anti-communist attitudes held by geriatric white supremacists and genocide enjoyers.
The US should be banned from the international space field. All they think about is colonization and atrocity. China is much better suited for coordinating space expeditions with other nations.
america bad
Hmm there are some reasonable points here..
china good
Ah it’s just propaganda or sheer ignorance okay
I don't know if this is suppossed to be a meta-commentary/joke or not. I never said both of those things.
China is more suited for space coordination because of its productive capacity and cooperation with other nations. China will not seek to "own" outer space but to instead integrate space travel as a way to benefit itself and the world. China can care for its citizens, the US is quickly losing the ability/will to do so.
Why not try to reflect on the fact that the US only cares about space travel when China seems to overtake them ever so slightly?
I don't care what you really feel about China, but to interpret my support for China leading the space field as ignorance is just projection.
banned from the international space field
Oh please. As if that’s a US problem and not a human with power problem. It’s not that crazy that the gov is making sure nasa checks with them before working hand in hand with international countries that aren’t exactly allies and may require some democratic work and thus need approval from congress. Yeah it’s dumb but it’s also understandable given the greater context and related risks
China is much better suited for coordinating… with other nations
So, what, is China not also guilty of genocide and colonization? Tell that to the Uyghurs, the Tibetans, or even just the countries pulling out of the belt and road initiative. China is just as guilty in regards to genocide and they have certainly had their fill of colonization. They’ve been working on taking Taiwan back just like Russia is with Ukraine. You do realize that China is a very racist/xenophobic country right?
If you ban the US you need to ban China and Russia too for the exact same reasons, along with many other countries.
Good thing that’s not how that works.
