    I just want to make sure I’m following this right:

    1. The USA has already been to the moon,

    2. The idea of a USA return to the moon is being framed by US commentators as a new space race against a country who would be doing it for the first time, meanwhile

    3. China continues to espouse its wish for more international cooperation in space while their lunar landing goal was set decades ago, and yet

    4. The USA is losing the race that only they are running.

    If they really cared they would increase the budget for it and hire a bunch of people to help out.
