Science DiscussionsChina is planning a manned mission to the Moon around the year 2012. Its fledgling but rapidly developing space program is seen as a strong competitor to the United States in manned exploration of space. It is also seen as a possible threat to the United States with respect to its satellites used to defend the country's safety. Neal Lane, former science advisor to former president William Clinton, was quoted in the Bloomberg article to have said, “The Obama administration will have all those issues on the table. The foreign affairs and national security implications have to be considered.” The Florida Today article “Decision on space gap will top news” provides further information on the possible NASA/DOD joint effort for future space exploration by the United States. Additional information about the Delta IV is found on the Boeing website "Delta IV Overview." Further information about the Atlas V is found on the Lockheed Martin website "Atlas V 500 Series." |
