Hopefully There Will be a New Space Race.

I recently read an article on space exploration here.

It mentions how America and China may embark on a new space race, this time to Mars.

This new race could make the last one (Russia vs U.S.) seem a tad bit less exciting.

I hope China does decide to go, I really don't care who gets there, as long as someone gets there.

Hopefully if they do, it will give NASA the kick in the butt they've needed for sometime.

Agreed a space race is THE ONLY way to get NASA out of its 40 year long lack of long distance human exploration.

Plus I think a few other nations may join in someway this time.

NASA just needs to get their hands on anti-gravity propulsion technology from the black projects. That way, they could save a bundle, and be there very quickly. I know NASA is just a front for the real space program. But one day, all of this will come out in the open...
