NASA chief: China will beat the U.S. back to moon

Getting to the moon may be the easy part, its getting em back home is where they should be concerned.

So they go to the moon~

What are they going to do steal it from the rest of the world?

Who gives a "bleep"! The moon is worthless except for a possible space telescope on the dark side. It's not even a good launch point because it has little gravity throw for getting to other bodies in the Solar System. I'd say it was a waste of money for the Chinese people. Homo Sapiens are 99.7% BS and caught up in their own preoccupations!!! Do something really needed like prevent cancer, MS, heart attacks, or stupid wars like Iraq.

I'd LMAO if they found oil there then!!!

I bet their space ship will have lead in the paint....

Hello Guest,

It may sound like I'm justifying your so called B.S.

But your comment;

"Do something really needed like prevent cancer, MS, heart attacks, or stupid wars like Iraq."

But can you name how medical advances was achieved through war, and/or exploration such as space?

I'll give you a hint. Prosthesis, antibiotics, transplants, skin grafts. rehab...... not to mention about the psychological discoveries.

It may sound morbid when you realize the root of these advances or discoveries, that may never have happened if it where not for the human so called flaws

Even though it comes to a extreme cost, it can't be denied.

Ohh I want to argue that logic soooooooo bad !

two I have to say about that

1.) who says its logic (other than yourself)

and

2.) whos stopping you

Slow down CR3....You make it sound like I attacked you in some way.

This is a forum and lets keep it civil.

Nothing is wrong with spending a wonderful day with you kids, its a beautiful day out. And it is a weekend, I also have time a constraint, I'm going on vacation this next week and I am trying to push projects out the door before then,

But when one makes a comment comes up like that's is so wrong, and I'm holding back, that seems if not arrogant at least ignorant, be prepared and follow through. remember this is a forum.

I'll will love to hear your points since you seem quite defensive about. I had looked your portfolio which states that you have a manufacturing background lets keep it there. Unless you choose not to.

And hopefully the oncoming posts and are not over analyzed or till its unrecognizable as the previous posts.

So to begin, As far as the strides in manufacturing, I have worked in the defense industry, though it was over 10 years ago but had gained valued experience, some things are open for debate some not.

Of which the majority of my work orders pertained to R&D. Of which I reconized items/process are in industry right now, at least a variant of. (may not been envolved in, but the link is visible that the origins came from the defense industry or at least partially)

There are also advances made was not made in wartime, please stop reading into more then what was posted, I'll look at it as your opinion.

I will give you that some of these are advances are made in preparation to war. but by no means if it was made during war (which are numerous).

Something about defense, its looked upon as to best to be more proactive than reactive.

Your comment;

"It is your logic (unless you are going to argue against yourself) and it is absurd to suggest that the world's tech advances are making the world a better place because of wartime tech advances that could/would not have been developed otherwise. Ludicrous."

I never said that, read my post you responded to, but to answer your statement, advances where made that may never had occurred or have been delayed until a war, to name a few. penicillium was around decades before WWII, It was WWII that put a priority on it to process it effectively, a few other items microwave technology, communications, I can go into detail on how manufacturing is involved in this if you like.

And since even this is a wide area, explain your stance, or pick one of your choosing.

A little advice though, buck up on your research don't read into more that's not written.

Hint….Arizona never been there.

Enjoy your weekend with your family CR3, I also am looking forward to this debate.

Yes, I have a good deal to say about this matter. Namely a result of what I perceive as a propagandists projection of the 'silver lining' of warfare.

We will discuss in full.

Regards.

That statement makes me laugh.

CR3,

"Namely a result of what I perceive as a propagandists projection of the 'silver lining' of warfare. "

Again I'll take this as an opinion,

read my bio, things may not appear what they seem. And again do not read more into it thats there.

Forgive me, but aren't there footprints from twelve astronauts already on the lunar surface?

Oh Right! They filmed it all at area 51 in a hangar.

The article title should read: "NASA chief: China will beat the U.S. to the moon"
