The USA must be faster in space than the Chineses ! ! !

If we don't hurry, the Chinese will build a moon-base first, install
defense satellites and we're doomed.

So we need to create the moonbase as fast as possible, because the
first one can claim it all and the second one gets NOTHING !

Just to let everyone know (if they haven't worked it out already), this

The boring explanation about variations in the moon's graviational
pull due to irregularities in its make up or the _real_ explanation that
involves missing cosmonauts and Boris the moon monkey?

Say there... if the Chinese are heading moonwards, we need some
equivalent of Boris for them, don't we?
How about "Bow-Wow-Mao, The Lunar Pekingese Dog?" :-)
