Comment Re:50 years?? (Score 1) 365

china on the other hand is ripe for political revolution. do you expect chinese citizens to put up with longer work hours in poorer conditions with less compensation than other countries, with less political and personal freedom, for the next 25+ years? those are the things that are driving china today.

Do not underestimate the value of a PR stunt like that. Putting someone on the moon could make people forget their other problems.

Because NASA is the only group who has gotten it right so far. I don't see an ESA shuttle, or a JAXA shuttle...I don't see their own independent space stations.

Interesting point of view. So the Soviet/Russian space achievements are just written off or are they also a part of NASA ;) . Just a reminder it was just 50 years ago the Yuri Gagarin completed his first orbit. (April 1961)
