Is there any ship wreck or debris on the moon? Do you guys think there will be?

Original US landing sites. Also whalers.

We're just on a slower timeline than For All Mankind.
Also more commercial. Also we may have missed the opportunity they had to develop clean energy and will suffer the climate consequences.

But there ain't no whales, so they tell tall tales, and sing a whaling tune!

Yep gonna take a few years for em to work out how to land the thing rather than let it tumble back to Earth and crash where ever the fuck it wants

Sorry I might have missed the news, but what exactly was that opportunity, and when exactly did we miss it?

Maybe they should try making a viable covid vaccine first.

Nothing. This is all a show.

Stop posting about China, nobody believes what they say or cares to hear what they plan to do, until they stop their evil BS.

In For All Mankind, fusion was developed in the 90s and emissions dropped almost immediately. We are still burning fossil fuels and are at least decades from fusion power. We are already seeing climate catastrophe unravel.

Didn't a booster from one of china's rockets impact the moon last year?
YawnTractor_1756 t1_j1otrfm wrote
Ah, gotcha thanks.
(That's a funny timeline for sure. Even if we invented practical fusion reactor design literally tomorrow it would take decades to ramp-up power plants and phase out fossil-burning)

I will be a long duration mission though because the rocket to bring them back won't be ready until 2030.

Didn’t we just do that ? Like a month ago ? Oh wait no that was the 1960s.
InternationalPen2072 t1_j1p6z7i wrote
Yes, for sure. I don’t think it’s very realistic in that regard, but in most other ways it seemed very realistic in my (unqualified) opinion. Especially the Lunar conflicts.

At the rate things are going I suspect China won’t be a country by 2027.

Exactly fuck them.
Tupcek t1_j1pxal6 wrote
idk, all the protests looks localized and die off pretty fast.
Meanwhile, power got a lot more centralized in the last year, so I would say, state has become stronger than it was. Not really a good thing, but I don’t see China anywhere near the collapse

And do they have a date for when the rocket to bring them back will be ready?
bobbertwest t1_j1s2pru wrote
Depends on how much more technology they can steel from NASA
Ducky181 t1_j1sgh5k wrote
Sure, your comment is off topic, but it’s disgusting you are receiving dislikes due to pointing out an actual genocide happening, which is still shamelessly being denied today,
SentientHotdogWater t1_j1sl5db wrote
I don't think their demographic issues are going to reach the point where they could end the country in only 5 years.
itsallrighthere t1_j1su8ty wrote
Depends. They might have half as many workers by 2030. Not sure how this will work out for them.

Based on official data (which is drastically overstated), China will lose 200 million workers by 2050. The number will be substantially higher given China's real TFR is around 1.

> hopes
I bet the DPRK "hopes" to have a viable moon-bound rocket by 2027 as well.

All the stuff that's lost ends up on the Moon, so probably a lot.
