Default China launch will prep for Moon landing

China has launched a relay satellite to prepare for a lunar rover mission planned for later in the year.

China is very ambitious?

So China finds The Obelisk as America shuffles its museum pieces and bans Earth Science missions?
The GREAT American Dumbocracy under Trumpet is flat-lining.
But hey, they have far more machine guns and far more school massacres than China.
And, China doesn't have Kardashian Royalty, shape-shifting aliens to show off on TV.
A [very] difficult act to follow. ;-)

GREAT! ;-))

BUT, and it's a VERY BIG BUTT:
If TRUMPET wont let NASA look down any more..
then only the NSA, CIA and Border Security will be able to see the GREAT WALL of TRUMPET from space!
Since the NSA and CIA never publish pictures...
then THE GREAT WALL OF TRUMPET will only be visible from a few yards away by those physically present on the ground.
And who would believe them? They'd probably start talking about flying saucers, aliens and Sasquatch in the next breath. More FAKE news!!
No pictures from space? It never happened! ;-)

The tragic thing is they are more less replicating things that were done what, 55 YEARS ago? We should have colonized the Moon AND Mars y now, visited all the other planets, and have a ship headed to a near star system. But lack of interest by an increasingly science-illiterate public and increasing weak-willed politicians means the space program is back at square one, wondering slack-jawed if they can cobble together another Saturn V for a return trip to the Moon and keeping that worthless money-pit the ISS in orbit.

The moon landings were an engineering achievement however the astronomy backing our solar system surroundings was and remains exceptionally weak if completely false. With no appreciation of basic facts and the dominance of theorists and their voodoo, there is nothing to interest society other than sending satellites into space to serve their daily needs.

If the USA had a second Johnson term instead of Nixon the Vietnam war would
have ended years earlier and the USA would have been on Mars before the end
of the 20th century.

So where do you get the money for colonizing the Moon, Mars?
Also, has to be technological break through's, which is never linear with the amount of money spend.

Without Nixon sabotaging the Vietnam peace talks to win an election the war
would have ended years earlier. Plenty of money to continue Apollo level
spending.

What value or use would be a colony on either the Moon or Mars? Just a
waste of limited resources better spent on good science.
