at this rate, china is going to beat the us back to the moon. while nasa is pissing about pouring billions into (((sls))) and achieving nothing with the absolute retardation that is artemis/lunar gateway, china will already have established a base on the lunar south pole. this will ignite the first true outer space conflicts, as china will request that us rockets do not land within a specified radius of the base due to safety concerns. this is effectively claiming territory on the moon, which goes against the outer space treaty (who really thought this would last even a century?). hopefully, it scares the us government into taking space seriously again, but because they are all psychopathic kikes with no foresight, they won't do anything until it's too late and china will have already won space race ii. srii is going to be unlike sri, which was more like a friendly rivalry. pic rel is the hls, the spacecraft that will deliver humans to and from the moon, attached to the lunar gateway module. look how ridiculous it is.
