An embarrassing day for America.
The country that first visited the Moon should have explored the lunar south pole decades ago. Then the dark side of the moon. Then a manned colony.
Instead we are beaten by a foreign nation to the south pole. And our next project is a manned landing on the moon, which we already accomplished in the 1960s.

- kpandit 3y agoWe are doing now what you did half a century ago. How exactly is that embarrassing for you?
- steno132 3y agoThe US should have been to the first to the lunar south pole, not a foreign country.

- steno132 3y agoHumans don't view things from a moon perspective, they view things from a human perspective. Space races are real, it's each country for itself, and it's a zero sum game. And today's not a good day.
- nrb 3y agoGreat to see other countries making accomplishments in space, I don’t see a cause for embarrassment when we’re driving rovers and helicopters around on Mars.
