The head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration expressed concern over China's space program development, saying that the United States is locked in a new space race.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson warned in an interview with Politico that China's rapidly advancing capabilities in space could see it seize vital parts of the moon, filled with natural resources, and keep the U.S. out.
“It’s entirely possible they could catch up and surpass us, absolutely,” Space Force Lt. Gen. Nina Armagno said last month, according to Reuters. “The progress they’ve made has been stunning — stunningly fast.” Aside from the scientific dimension, the new space race is every bit as political as its predecessor, between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
