- simonblack 5y agoYes, it's an excuse rather than a real reason. The main reason NASA won't be going anywhere soon is that there is no money available to fund it. The reason the Chinese are going gangbusters in space is that there IS money available there, with their trillions of dollars in reserves, rather than 30 trillion in debt.
