Don’t worry, the US will make up some arbitrary milestone and then “win” the space race again.
China’s planned “grab and go” architecture “does not give you the comprehensive look for the science community,” Nelson said today.
“Will people say that there’s a race?” he added. “Well, of course, people will say that. But it’s two totally different missions.”Doesn’t count unless you get samples from multiple locations apparently.
China, 2350: a communist union of 108 prosperous planets
USA (in reality DC enclave): “It don’t count unless you colonise at least two galaxy arms and a core. Also, China is not socialist.”
bold to assume the US would still exist
(for the sake of meme)
“win” the space race again
My guess is near earth space militarism even if it’s mostly pretend and they claim they put up “weapons ready” satellites or something. Maybe they’ll even claim their “space laser weapons” using next gen technology is almost ready.
The moment they start militarizing orbit we’re just going to have Kessler Syndrome.

weird desperate hope here, maybe some “China 4 years ahead of NASA” headlines could convince Fascist Occupied States of America to try some non-violent hobbies for a decade.
They’ll win the space race this time by being the first nation to checks notes place neurotoxic bio weapons in orbit
Step the fuck back from the lathe please.
If we’re lucky Musk will kill himself by doing some bazinga thing in the facility so hold out hope!
You would love Orion bomber.
They’ll probably just bomb China’s space agency
Flashbacks to me playing Civ.
