- blisterpeanuts 12y agoChina's spending isn't very transparent, and their costs are much lower, so dollar-for-dollar they are accomplishing more than Nasa is. And they're not just screwing around. They're planning to put humans on the Moon in a few years, which implies a huge and well funded effort.
