NASA is canceling a water-seeking moon rover because of cost overruns and launch delays. The space agency announced the news Wednesday, days before the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.
Yeah, though i’m expecting major sabotage efforts by the usual three letter agencies of the US and UK in regards to that project. Wouldn’t even put it past NASA to get involved in trying to make sure that the mission fails.
Either some people in government are still aware that they’d stand no chance competing against China, or they realise it is harder for them to constantly shift the goal posts and frame it as a win these days, so they prefer to just not risk it.
It doesn’t have to be a space race anyway, China would most likely cooperate if the US were willing to suck up their pride.
Pretty funny, space race isn’t getting revived it seems
Not in the US at least, seems like China and Russia are on track with their moon base though.
