jumped out again and made nonsense! In an interview with the American Political News Network on January 1, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said that the United States and China are engaged in a space race, and the United States should be more vigilant because there is less and less time left for the United States. In an interview with

, Bill Nelson once again poured dirty water on China, saying that China has a special purpose for manned landing on the moon. It is likely to establish a base or settlement on the moon to collect mineral resources on the moon. The United States is likely to be "shut out" by then, so "the United States should be careful and not let China arrive somewhere on the moon under the guise of scientific research."

In fact, this is the second time in recent times that Bill Nelson has criticized our country on aerospace issues. On December 11, 2022, Nelson stated in an interview with Nikkei News that the United States has the ability to defeat China in the moon landing race, and also "praised" Japan as a good partner. Of course, Nielsen boasts that others are "not red-faced but not heart-beating". If Japan really cooperates in depth, it may hinder the U.S. aerospace industry.

In potato 's view, Nielsen's remarks revealed two problems. First, the United States has a sense of urgency on the moon landing issue and seems to feel some pressure;

The United States is "worried" about the moon landing. What does it seem to be worried about?

In 2017, Trump shortly after becoming the President of the United States, he "hurriedly" signed the new space bill. The bill focused on the "Return to the Moon Plan", which later became the Artemis Project. In fact, this plan has been implemented as early as the Obama period. However, under Trump's care, the annual investment amount has increased to more than 2 billion US dollars.

There is a sense of urgency everywhere in the implementation of the Artemis project, and we can't wait to send astronauts to the moon immediately.

First the date of the moon landing has been changed repeatedly. The initial date for the moon landing was 2028. In March 2019, US Vice President Mike Pence suddenly announced that the moon landing would be advanced to 2024. Is this the end? No! Or because of the frequent failures of SLS rocket launches, the moon landing time has been postponed to around 2025.

Why did the moon landing date suddenly advance? Tudou doesn’t know the specific reason, but our moon landing will be around 2030. On November 21, 2022, Academician Wu Weiren revealed an important information in an exclusive interview with CCTV’s “Eastern Space” – Chinese astronauts are expected to land on the moon within 10 years. Another identity of Academician Wu Weiren is the chief designer of China’s lunar exploration project, so his words naturally carry weight.

So did the US NASA get the news in advance, or did it make sufficient predictions based on my country's aerospace progress and get the approximate timetable for my country's moon landing? If the United States' 2028 moon landing may be delayed until after 2030 if an accident occurs midway, how can it "defeat" China in the manned moon landing? Therefore, in the end, the United States' moon landing arrangements always gave people a sense of urgency and lacked an overall plan.

Furthermore, the moon landing rocket was actually a second-hand product. According to normal logic, the new moon landing rocket should use the most cutting-edge, latest and most reliable technology to improve rocket stability and reduce launch costs. But the SLS giant rocket that carried out the moon landing mission is a second-hand product.

booster is a solid booster system from the space shuttle period. The engine on the core stage is also the RS-25 hydrogen-oxygen engine on the space shuttle. Three of the four RS-25 engines were removed from the space shuttle, and one of them was used 6 times. The person in charge of the Artemis program explained that this was to reduce costs and system reliability. Is this true?

The Artemis program has spent a total of nearly 30 billion U.S. dollars from 2011 to 2021 and has been criticized for excessive investment.In addition, the SLS rocket was postponed 18 times due to signal failures, coolant leakage and other issues, and was finally successfully launched on November 16, 2022. Should such a rocket say that it has excellent performance and stable system? Should there be a question mark?

Of course, Nielsen may also be "crying for poverty" when he behaves like this. After all, this is the tradition of American officials to ask Congress for money by creating a sense of urgency, and this is not the first time for Nielsen. In 2021, Nielsen attended the House of Representatives hearing and expressed the hope that Congress would increase NASA's fiscal year 2022 budget to show "sincerity" that Nielsen supports the permanentization of the "Wolf Clause" in the United States.

Whether Nielsen is performing or Nielsen frequently slanders our country, a sense of urgency has always lingered around NASA, and it has become stronger and stronger as time goes by.

The so-called "race to the moon" is a false proposition. In essence, it is a "passive situation" that the United States has fallen into by containing China's aerospace industry.

The "race to the moon" rendered by Nelson is all his own imagination. my country's manned moon landing is a reasonable plan based on its own aerospace resources and conditions. There is no such thing as a "race to the moon"!

Tudou’s view is that the so-called “moon landing race” is the result of the United States’ containment of China’s aerospace industry. There are two documents that the United States cannot avoid in its containment of China's aerospace industry. One is the "Cox Report" and the other is the "Wolf Clause."

Before the U.S. Congress threw out the "Cox Report", my country's rocket and satellite launch business had just emerged in the international market, and its market share had gradually climbed to 7% to 9% due to its high stability and low price. For its own benefit, the United States stated in the "Cox Report" in 1999 that China took advantage of the launch of the US-made satellite to steal advanced technologies such as American satellites and missiles , and stipulated that any satellite using American technology was not allowed to carry Chinese satellites. This bill caused my country's rocket and satellite launch business to disappear almost overnight.

In order to avoid the "Cox Report", our country's aerospace technicians have undertaken foreign satellite launch business through programs such as "entire satellite export and on-orbit delivery", " Long March rocket + European satellite", "Long March rocket + domestic satellite", and have achieved certain results, but the market share has always been small due to the containment of the United States.

The Wolf Clause directly decouples U.S. aerospace from China's aerospace. The bill was passed under the leadership of veteran anti-China politician Frank Wolf. The Wolf Clause is the first time that the United States has restricted Sino-US aerospace cooperation in the form of laws and regulations. In addition to restricting the export of key equipment, it also prohibits all aerospace-related learning and exchanges, including international conferences, which are also included in the prohibited list.

The 2017 "Microsymposium 58" seminar was held in the United States. As a major space country, China was a key invitee. What was the result? The U.S. Embassy in Beijing actually refused to issue visas to Chinese experts participating in the conference. The United States explained to the outside world that the Chinese experts could not attend the conference due to time conflicts. The real reason was due to Wolf Clause restrictions.

Facts have proved that the United States’ pursuit of my country’s aerospace has not restricted my country’s aerospace development. On the contrary, China’s aerospace has blazed its own path, from the Shenzhou 5 manned spacecraft to Chang’e lunar exploration to the Tiangong space station , which represents the gradual maturity and success of China’s aerospace industry.

Finally, China’s aerospace industry does not need a moon landing race or a space race. Rather than putting energy and resources into this meaningless competition, it would be more beneficial to the aerospace industry if they were put into scientific research. Does Nelson not understand this truth? Of course I understand, but when I see the oppressor trying to catch up, I fall into passivity and lose control.
