This is not a NASA Website. You might learn something. It's YOUR space agency. Get involved. Take it back. Make it work—for YOU.

Keith’s note: If the Administration really wants to win a new Space Race then these are the competitors – they were in Beijing today. They have a plan and stick to it. America – not so much. Indeed, we cut ourselves off at the knees and then complain about it.

NASA Watch: Your support is needed, support independent journalism.
Thank you for whatever support you can provide. We recently launched this upgraded website which will allow us to expand our coverage. But the design and hosting come at cost, as does adding new services. We're also going looking to add new journalists as we expand.
We'll send a verification code to %EMAIL%.
Is there really a race to the moon? There is intent because this demonstrates a nation’s technological prowess, if not first then the next could do it better with sustainable ability. Russia and NK don’t count, they will never develop a lunar human lander. But then I’m not sure if we are, I see lots of artwork and grand schemes but the Starship looks like a 1950s sci-fi movie, and who knows how many space refuelings. At times I feel we are like Soviets back in the days where they could have had a solid program to go to the moon or not, but they had neither. Which is where the US is.
