A space race is a good thing, and we must get ready to win it
The US and its partners are engaged in a second race to the moon with China, aiming to land humans and establish a lunar base. China's aggressive behavior on Earth raises concerns about its intentions on the moon.
The US and its international and commercial partners are competing with China in a second race to the moon. The goal is to be the first to land humans since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972 and establish a lunar base. The Artemis II mission was a cooperative venture with a Canadian astronaut and European Space Agency service module. China has its own partners, including Russia, Egypt, and Pakistan. China's aggressive behavior, including intellectual property theft, economic coercion, and human rights abuses, raises concerns about its intentions on the moon. Cooperating with China on a lunar mission may facilitate its imperial ambitions. The US partnership with Russia on the International Space Station is different, as it started after the fall of the Soviet Union and is mutually beneficial.
