NASA says moon mission is further delayed but hopes to land astronauts before China
(www.nbcnews.com)
I just want to make sure I'm following this right:
-
The USA has already been to the moon,
-
The idea of a USA return to the moon is being framed by US commentators as a new space race against a country who would be doing it for the first time, meanwhile
-
China continues to espouse its wish for more international cooperation in space while their lunar landing goal was set decades ago, and yet
-
The USA is losing the race that only they are running.
