You know what, good. Unlike the salty Americans in this thread, that’s a good thing. Look how much was accomplished with the space race against Russia. Despite what people in this thread apparently think, China has caught up very fast in the past couple decades. It was a country of mules being used to farm when the US first went to space, a cart was the main form of transportation in the 80s still.

Russia has pretty much become pointless, and the more countries in space sending out orbiters, rovers, cameras, doing scientific studies, the better it is for everybody who enjoys space. Competition is always good and the US has been pretty stagnant the past decade or so. If it weren’t for SpaceX then China would currently be ahead of the US.
