Spurred on by China's manned lunar landing program, the United States has hastily restarted its manned lunar landing program, and wants to preemptively land a manned lunar landing before China. After China's lunar base plan was implemented, the US lunar base plan was announced later, of course, to build a base on the moon before China.
No one doubts the influence of the United States on the moon, which successfully landed on the moon already in the 6,70s of the last century, when the Chinese space program was just getting started. NASA, in almost all of its space programs, left the Soviet Union behind. For NASA, this feeling of being in the dust is so wonderful that there have been few technological breakthroughs for many years. For a long time, the West has been very anxious about this. However, because of China, a powerful adversary, the United States will have another great development in space technology, and its dominance is just around the corner. At least that's what many Western** think.
Although China's space plan is weak, the United States has indeed suppressed housing selection. In the International Space Station program, the United States pulled a group of Western brothers to contribute money and technology, and even Russia participated in it, but resolutely excluded China. A similar situation occurred in Europe's Galileo navigation program, from which China still excluded. However, the result of this series of flawless operations turned out to be the opposite of what the United States had envisioned. China's Beidou navigation turned out to be born, and its technology even surpassed Galileo's and caught up with the GPS of the United States. What's more, when the International Space Station is about to die, China's space station is put into use. This means that there is no space available in the United States and the West after 2030.
Obviously, the United States has chosen an adversary for itself and is gradually cultivating it into a formidable adversary. Of course, the United States is still the latecomer to China as an adversary, and India is the most enthusiastic. China has T90 tanks, J-10 fighters, and electronic catapult aircraft carriers that are not inferior to the West, and India uses Arjun tanks, Brilliant fighters, and Vikrant aircraft carriers to benchmark them, and they all win in India, although the Indian army is reluctant to use Arjun tanks and Glorious fighters. After that, a number of countries followed, that is, the so-called "China can do it, I can do it". But in the eyes of the United States and the West, it is a different situation, that is, the United States can do China, and even the United States can not do China, which makes it very uncomfortable.
Now, the U.S. lunar program appears to be following in China's footsteps, but its influence is unmatched. Artemis Accords – A NASA-backed initiative that establishes principles for exploring the moon and other places in space. The Artemis Accords are said to have been signed by traditional allies of the United States, such as Japan and the United Kingdom, as well as BRICS countries such as Brazil and India.
China's lunar program is a powerful alliance between China and Russia, and the China National Space Administration recently signed a cooperation document with the Egyptian Space Agency to cooperate on the International Lunar Research Station project. On December 4, a Chinese carrier rocket launched a satellite to aid Egypt from a launch center in the Gobi Desert.
Some Western ** believe that the space race has heightened tensions between Beijing and Washington, with both sides vying for partners in plans to send astronauts to the moon in the coming years. We are right to strive for partners, for win-win cooperation. As for the United States and the West, it is self-inflicted. Also, we are developing according to our own plan, and we don't mean to compete with anyone.
