      It’s not even close. China will build a base on the moon before the US builds a single mile of real high speed rail on Earth. Suicide nation.

      The safe money is on China. They are less concerned about risk and will be more likely to charge forward.

      I don’t think it will be the USA government.  Debt issues are catching up and social security and Medicare are about to add to that.  Lots of head winds coming 

      China or a private company will get some thing up there in the next 10 to 20 years

      The USA is incompetently run, they have been actively cutting NASAs budget.

      The US can’t even build affordable housing without having to provide tax breaks to corporate investors. Convince the ruling class of America there is money to made selling moon cheese and we’ll have cows on the moon before the turn of the century.

      China by far. We have the stupidest people in charge of the government and an even more stupid electorate

      If the US continues to lower the founding of scientific institutions amd especially NASA, then it’s China, not even close. Because, you know, the one to actually invest money is the one that will have achievements.

      Everyone talks about China beating the U.S. to the moon again, tell me, have they even eclipsed SpaceX yet? I don’t hear anything about them actually being close to beating the US.

      Whoever it is, the people building it are gonna be laborers from around the world.

      China. I believe they are far more ahead than anyone cares to admit.

      Sinceramente eu não sei se vamos sequer passar desse século quem dirá construir uma base na lua.

      If anyone thinks the United States can compete with China on long term goals like this at this point they have not been paying attention. This is the country that just woke up one day and decided to build 11x more High Speed Rail than the next highest country and actually did it. 46,000 km and counting in 20 years.

      The USA can’t even muster up the political will to properly maintain its bridges, much less dominate in space if it’s truly a competition between the two.

      China and that’s just math. The math being, they’re actually directly funding the programs and we’re not. Simple as that.

      What’s a base? Americans lived on the moon for two weeks during Apollo 17.

    22. infinitynull on

      China has been planning a long term permanent moon base for decades. The US thinks this is another short term space race to get there first.

      China. Without question.

    23. DrMcMuffinMD on

      China without question since Trump will continue to make sure America falls behind in every conceivable way

      Apologies if this is off topic but I wonder if prop betting sites will predict this accurately.

    29. heyhayyhay on

      The question is, will anyone actually get to the moon and will it be in our lifetime. A base will certainly not happen in our lives.

      I don’t know who will build the first base, but SpaceX will build the first city.

      Once Starship is operational, it will open a floodgate of lunar missions. People just don’t understand the scale of what’s going to happen. Starship is MASSIVE. It will fly a LOT. It will be far cheaper than any other launch system.

      I don’t know when Starship will be operational, but they are building TWO massive factories to crank them out on a scale never seen before in spaceflight.

      Define a base? If you mean sustainable human presence, who knows. Probably a private company

      I have to admit, I find it really impressive how astro-turfed the replies are.

      China does not currently have hardware being tested for a moon base. All of their work is focused on a „flags and footprints“ mission with smaller landers/rockets that do not seem to be capable of anything more than Apollo has already done. While there is a plan for more capable hardware, that’s all it is right now – designs on „paper“.

      The United States, on the other hand, has one lander capable of building/sustaining a lunar base already launching and doing hardware tests (Starship) and another near the same state (Blue Moon Mk.2).
