SpaceX might be getting some competition from China

[TheButcher]

This might get interesting, Musk will have competition if this venture takes off (no pun intended).

This is good news because it means the space race is hotting up again and it might give NASA the kick up the arse it needs to get back to the moon

The ISS is due to be decomissioned in 2030 which will mean the Chinese Tiangong space station will be the only manned space station left in orbit. The ISS replacement (Starlab) isnt due to launch until 2028

But both China and USA have stated they will be back to the moon by 2030 and have a permanent base there by 2035

Much rather see China and USA racing to the moon than fighting a war

Thats why we have test programs. As Neil Armstrong once said, the more we fail down here the less likely we are to fail up there
