i think there is something strange in outside orbit manned missions, specifically imo apollo were only robotic spaceships, anyway, highest probability is a major, catastrophic accident in deep space, and after that there is going to be a huge setback for the entire space exploration sector due to lack of public support, coupled with geostrategic crisis that surely will kick in next 10 years or so, with a great role for the outer space warfare

China (and India) have aspirations for space travel just like the USA. If China has this as a goal, you can bet they'll be gaining ground in this area with a gusto. Want to call it a 'race', it probably is.
