Chinese moon base

I would hope that Mars (Martians) would NOT become another welfare recipient.

Once life becomes established on Mars, if they come to earth for a visit,
it will be a repeat of history (Settlers coming to America).

Oh yeah, they could rebel just like America did against the British. Watch The Expanse for a TV show about Earthers, Martians and Belters.

In-line with my posts in buster's Infrastructure thread, China's ambitions are what Western ambitions were before the great "woke" revolution, rise of political correctness and policy crafted around electability not long-term goals. Before we outsourced a large portion of the middle class and gutted our manufacturing sector.

I had a contractor pay me a fortune for an old processor I had. I guess some of that old stuff has specific space based uses.

I always wondered why the Chinese lunar rover did 2 donuts almost immediately upon rolling down it's ramps, then died.

There were several real world benefits that came from moon landings. Google is your friend here.............

Oh yeah, that was a decent show, one of the best episodes was probably Dragon's Domain. Good monster in that one.
