America needs to go back to the Moon. Leaving the Moon to China to gaze down on us is no way to win on Earth.
The Artemis program to put America back on the moon to stay is in trouble, which is a problem:
From the summer of 1969 to the end of 1972, through six Apollo Moon landing missions, the United States of America placed no less than a dozen human beings on the surface of the Moon.
The rest of the world could only watch in awe – or, in the Soviet Union’s case, envy.
With the lunar dust kicked up by those first explorers long since settled, Armstrong’s “giant leap for mankind” is at risk of reverting to merely “one small step.”
That will be the case if America retreats from its admirable legacy of lunar exploration.
China is going to the Moon as we speak. Don't even imagine China won't try to draw a nine-dashed lines to encompass the Moon the way it does in the South China Sea:
And the way it asserts a voice in the Arctic Sea despite being nowhere near it.
Have a super sparkly day.
