Imagine if China were to beat USA back to moon / mars....

That would be worse than sputnic hysteria? And then what about the
Cheeze? The moon would suddenly be made of Tofu...what a let down that
would be! Imagine then a few token Americans and europeans brought
along with everyone else speaking incomprehensible mandarin and the
space agency named "=AA=A9=BA=86=BA=AA=83=BA=AA=A9=FE=F0=A9=AA=E5=AE= A9"
Hey THATS EVEN SCARIER THAN THE RUSSIANS OUT DOING USA AND NASA!

NOW IMAGINE THIS: THE CHINESE GETTING TO MARS FIRST AND BUILDING A
GREAT WALL YOU CAN SEE FROM OUTER SPACE!

i THINK WE SHOULD LET THE MARTIANS VOTE ON WHO TAKES OVER BEFORE ANYONE
BOTHERS.
