[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] And I have to say that I sincerely doubt any such announcement is forthcoming. I'm not going to put money on it, as I have none, but I bet the only thing NASA will say regarding all this will be along the lines of "This certainly solves several problems a future Mars mission will face." And no one is scared of the Chinese space program. Space races are for nations with something to prove. A Chinese flag on the moon is more or less meaningless (to everyone but the Chinese, to whom it would rightfully be a great feat) when it comes 30 years after the American one. When China starts building a near earth orbit infrastructure similar to that of the U.S., then you'll see concerns about keeping up, because that's where access to space actually matters on a geopolitical scale. As for Mars, China is in far less a position to go than the U.S., and the U.S. is in no position to go, "Case For Mars" or not. [/QB][/QUOTE]
