    SpaceX is prepping to send people to Mars and China is gloating about putting a satellite around the moon

    Surely they must be doing something right/wrong

      SpaceX talk big, but they’re no so great with achieving measurable objectives. They’re already behind schedule with even successfully getting Starship off Earth, less mind getting it to the lunar surface and successfully back from there.

      Not saying they won’t do it eventually, but its hard to have confidence in their blowhard claims.

        I’m sorry, but you seem creepily invested

        For what it’s worth, SpaceX has put their Starship in orbit last week, something the Chinese equivalent isn’t scheduled to do in another 10 years… So I don’t know see how you come to the conclusion that the Chinese state approach is so much better when it’s so far behind, especially considering all the means at their disposal.
