Maybe at some point the Americans will get scared that the Chinese are actually making strides ahead of them in electrification and decarbonization to actually get unstuck from their idiotic culture war over fossil fuels.
It will take a new space race for that to happen.
The space race is on. That’s why Starship has been launching so much. Someone at the FAA must have finally realized that if SpaceX doesn’t go ahead at full SpaceX speed, we’re gonna see China take over space.
They’ve got a space station and a rover on the moon. China will easily overtake us in space, has already in a few places.
and africa with that whole silk road thing
True. China is making rapid gains in territory and influence on Earth and Luna, and soon plans to expand its operations into the Belt.
And by "take over" you mean uselessly posture and dick waggle and colonialize in brand new space accords breaking ways.
This is not something anyone is winning.
