Too bad Trump banned NASA from any cooperation with China.
Oh wait, that was Obama in 2011.
how the heck is this emoji not :obummer:
that's a great name, but before tags on emojis there were a lot of complaints about how hard it was to remember some of the emoji names. it probably predates tags
Vote blue! :soy-face:
Response to:
After the Chang'e-6 samples, weighing nearly 2 kilograms, were safely transported to a special laboratory for further study on Friday, NASA spokesperson Faith McKie told media that while China worked with the European Space Agency, France, Italy and Pakistan on this mission, "NASA wasn't invited to take part in the moon probe."
NASA also didn't get "any direct invitation" to study China's moon rocks, after it welcomed all scientists from around the world to apply to study them, McKie told NatSec Daily.
Fully expect China to start poaching NASA scientists and bringing their entire families over with them at some point
may Chinese Operation Paperclip (based edition) happen in our times 
my area of science isn't space, but yeah that is genuinely and unironically my life plan. Xi please
My area of science is being liberated by the PLA in the Sino-Burgertown wars. Xi please.
US only does the kind of science that makes GPUs more expensive with no real benefit to consumers (Intel, now with AI!)
On a similar but unrelated note are those astronauts still stuck in the ISS? They should ask China for help getting them down like that one town asked the Soviets to repair their bridge during the Cold War lmfao
It's the Russians who are going to be ready to step in for that but same difference I guess.
They should explicitly not give it to the US, since they did it the same
They should make Americans come to China to do the research alongside Chinese scientists.
Let the scientists make public calls for access, look like you're taking the high road by giving it to them, force some researchers to see China in reality, and hopefully accelerate the brain drain.
I like this idea
The US government has not landed a robotic spacecraft on the moon since 1968
