The director of NASA has publicly set the tone. Before Trump steps down, the United States wants to defeat China in this field. Can it be done? China has received three letters of war. Is this war necessary?
China and the United States between the two countries is not peaceful enough, there are people on the side of the United States to try to find a way, but this reminds us not the US military, but the US National Aerospace Agency (NASA). recently, NASA's agent director, transportation minister Dafoe publicly criticized SpaceX's moon mission program progress is delayed, for this NASA will open this contract, allowing other companies to join the competition. But Dafoe is hard to cheat on China, claiming that due to the delay of SpaceX, the United States may not be able to the manned return to the moon before rushing to China!。
It is clear that NASA has regarded China as a fictional enemy of the U.S. mission to the moon, trying to engage in a competition with China on the moon plan. This is not unfamiliar, after all, the U.S. and the Soviet Union had such a competition on the moon, and some U.S. officials obviously viewed China as a Soviet-style competitor. In September, Daffy made similar statements at least twice, claiming to “defeat China on the moon” and the United States to land on the moon before China!
The reason is simple, Apollo moon landing plans have passed so many years, the United States is both lacking funds for the resumption of the moon mission, technically also in the stage of disruption, in fact not ready for the material for the moon landing in the short term. Per still many people do not understand why the United States so many years ago achieved the moon landing, but today can not?
If the U.S. aerospace industry has developed rapidly in recent years, it is not impossible to quickly re-complete the lunar landing plan. The problem is that the manufacturing industry in the United States has been hollowed out for so many years, and the aerospace industry is not as strong as it seems. To a large extent, Space X has become a fig leaf for the U.S. government. Abandoning SpaceX, the U.S. aerospace industry has declined very seriously. UnderstoodNASA's so-called opening up other companies and SpaceX competition is mainly a strategy to pressure Musk, not surprisingly, the U.S. government has to count on Musk's Space X to provoke the main responsibility for moon landing.
So, the desire of the NASA director is afraid to fall empty, Trump wants to repeat the dream of the brilliant history of moon landing in his term, probably also difficult to realize. China’s space development program is not aimed at comparing with a particular country, but is aimed at raising the country’s comprehensive strength and technological level, better exploring space and benefiting the people. The idea of the US side to take the moon as a race, filled with Cold War-style confrontation thinking, spreading Chen’s opposition ideas, including the head of NASA, a number of senior U.S. officials fell into this miszone, one of the reasons the U.S. space industry has slowed further over the years.In short, China can develop at its own pace without taking into account the so-called "defeat of China" of the US side.
