The Chinese will beat US to the moon this time. Probably the Japanese too, with our economic crisis. We, (Lockheed) gave them a grand gift of rocketry and astral navigation info when Lockheed aided, with the US governments permission, to help the Chinese with their benign weather and communication satellites, some years ago. The info was in the aid packages about weather satellites. The Chinese had been working to solve the problems, unsuccessfully, for their military rockets on a parallel path, elsewhere. Our capable Intelligence folk (CIA) were caught flatfooted back then.
