not because moon bases are ridiculous, but because when the transmission on your car is about to go, you're hocked to your eyeballs paying for the new washing machine and those jerks across the street are about to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, "Let's go to Disneyland" is a laughable suggestion. -Well put.

You've got a couple problems there. One, we're all doing our damnedest to have China as a trade partner, not as our adversary in a new Cold War.

Shall we "race" them again and thereby demonstrate to the entire world that the United States is now playing "catchup" with itself?
It's a little cart-before-the-horse, don't you think? "I want to go to the moon, therefore I will instigate an expensive and divisive campaign to demonize the most populous nation on earth." Might be easier to just cheer the other team:
