Can't fault them for being ambitious.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

A force to do what exactly?  Colonize the moons of Jupiter?

The Chinese actually have sent people in to space, have an education system that is churning out hundreds of thousands of engineers and scientists per year, and loads of heavy industry.  Regardless what some party flunky may say about mining moon cheese, China will be a force to be reckoned with in space.

:lol:  Boy won't they be disapointed when they get up there.

God that movie sucked.

If it's a mirror earth - WHY DIDN'T THE SPACE SHIPS OR PLANETS COLLIDE????

Perhaps they could feed their own populations first.

It doesn't sound that much more insane than others who are in favor of manned space travel.

Some Chinese leader was talking about getting the "resources" on the moon to try to justify their own space program IIRC.  All that profiteable moon mining.

Well according to Mass Effect that is exactly what we will eventually do on the Moon.  I just do not think we should invest tons of money to secure resources for technologies that exist only in Science Fiction.

Mining gases?
Interesting new approach. I will bring my pickaxe right away.

Unfortunately, we'll never develop fusion on the kind of scale that would make lunar mining worthwhile, if at all.
