  1. "There is a big difference between sending little robot vehicles and microwave-sized satellites to the moon and being able to send a full-sized crewed spacecraft to the moon." Those that can do, those that can't sneer. Let me guess the nationality of the person who made this remark. The Chinese sent their "little robot vehicle" to the moon and landed it on the far side of the Moon, first try, and it is still working. No mean feat, that. They also communicate with it by means of a satellite parked in a Lagrange point, another first that they pulled off first time. They also sent a rover to the moon that took samples of moon-rock and returned them to earth in a week or two, all without failure. Sneer all you like, it will not bother the Chinese nor change one single fact.

  2. China has also launched space rockets from floating platforms if I'm not mistaken.

  3. What is so transparent about NASA? What is wrong with the Chinese making discoveries? If the Chinese are not all that cooperative it might be because the USA has prohibited its space agency from cooperating with the Chinese.

  4. Where's the evidence that "China wants to take over the moon and keep everyone else out". The "Dog in the manger" wears the stars and stripes.

  5. 29:20 The Chinese have made no such statements. On the contrary, they unlike NASA, have spoken only in terms of welcoming international involvement in their space labs and their moon base when and if it is built. This concern that the Chinese "might colonize" the moon is projection. This, imho is how the USA thinks, not how the Chinese think. I forget which Chinese official replied to an American journalist who asked about China's ambitions in the World, by saying: "We do not want an empire, we can see from history that empires are a lot of trouble and they always end badly. We want a world where countries are prosperous and will trade freely with us and with each other."

  6. If The people who made this program, would look into the Chinese political system, as closely as they look at the Chinese space program, they might find that the label "Autocratic" is not a really very enlightening term. This label, suggests that the whole of China's space efforts, are the result of Xi Jinping's whims. Needless to say, they are a bit more grounded in reality than that and that the Chinese politcal system, though very different to the US's, is more, not less, responsive to the peoples' wishes than is the US's democracy.

  10. Yes, you make a good case for colonizing the Moon. I am a bit surprised that you did not mention that the Chinese and the Russians are working on a project to do just that. How is that going? Any information?
