Wouldn't it be great if China landed on the Moon?

This is from another thread, but it's fricking embarrassing for us as a species to not only not have a Moon base, but we also haven't been back in nearly a half a century.
The thing is the space race is really a dick measuring contest. It's sad but true. If the Earth were the size of a basketball, then the furthest a man has gone from it since 1972 is 3/8 of an inch. If the Moon were to that scale it would be 30 feet across the room. So we have a 30 foot dick, while our closest competitor only has a dick that 3/8 of an inch. We're comfortable with that dick size which is why we haven't been back to the Moon.
But if someone else lands there, then we will finally get insecure about our dicks again. I guarantee we would land on Mars within 5 years of that happening. We could not tolerate China having a bigger dick than ours. And then if they land on Mars after us, then we orbit Jupiter and land on Europa. And so on and so forth.
Sorry but we need to get in the dick measuring contest again, and for that we need a competitor. China needs to make a 50th Anniversary Landing of Apollo 11 as a big "frick you" to us as a species, since we're sure as shite not doing it. Let's get back into it to further ourselves as a species in a dick measuring contest.

China ain't going to do shite. They are just an ant colony. If they got one taste of freedom their entire culture would collapse instantly.

The Chinese generally aren't known for their big dicks.

They know American culture very well, you moron. Really I expect China to be a democracy by 2040. Their Gen Y doesn't put up with the Mao philosophy and know what he did. They know American culture only made their country better. They aren't all that silent about it either, and the government doesn't know how to handle it. They are absolutely on the path to it, and I think even the government themselves have come to the conclusion that it is inevitable.

That sucks. A democratic China is probably a lot more dangerous than a communist one.

So were are counting on the Chinese to motivate us in a dick measuring contest?
We should probably get to mars first though, like we are attempting to. Like the Americas whoever gets their first will be the biggest influence on how it develops. North America has greatly benefited modern Europe even though they had some growing pains. Imagine the world today politically if Asia or the Middle East established themselves here first.

I know based on your post history that you would be down with China doing this stuff.
I wouldn't be. If China plants some bullshite made in China flag on the Moon, I say we blow the whole motherfricker up.

I don't know about them, but I am. China has a big need for things to be the biggest and not necessarily the best. They're the country to challenge us in this dick measuring contest.

I'm with you, just had to attempt a dick joke

Man it would be hard to interest a woman in a 3/8 inch or a 30 ft one!
Just busting your chops! It would be great to have a viable lunar colony. But to what purpose. The Spanish Main was sending gold and silver back to the motherland. What would be the economic purpose of the moon? Columbus discovered the new world in 1492. In 1607, 115 years later the first colony north of the Spanish Main (its northern most post was Florida) was settled. Almost failed because of no gold and only survived due to tobacco. Hell the world was circumnavigated about 80 years before Jamestown. Doesn't matter how far the ship sails unless you build a new port!

Lost the best opportunity with Tiananmen Square protests in 1989! They are now fascist. They only accept private ownership if it strengthens the military power of the state. They are still totalitarians that don't mind running their citizens over with tanks. Would take a major military defeat in a foreign or civil war to clear the way for democracy. And that is one scary thought of 1.3 billion people with nuclear weapons!

That would be way too rapid for a country of 1.5 billion people.

No, they aren't at all. For you to suggest such says you don't know the meaning of fascism. Aside from the Internet, all foreigners (including myself) are pretty shocked how totally free it seems there.
To be honest with you, China made me definitively conclude that America is not really a free county. They let their citizens do whatever over there so long as they don't incite a riot. There are many things you'd get arrested for over here that you wouldn't in China or many parts in Europe. You realize very quickly over there that there is a moral police in America, and that you have been thoroughly lied to and quite frankly brainwashed into thinking America is truly the land of the free.

They're not going to do shite. We own all of their companies and products over there, and really basically culture. I don't fear China because they love us as a culture and they're far too intertwined.
Their Generation Y will make very great and close allies to us I full heartedly believe. They don't at all trust the older generations, they know capitalism is what turned their country around, and they know how America works more than any other generation before them. Out of all the countries, I do think that China's Gen Y is something special and they will change the world. They will not put up with not being a democracy for much longer.

Tin foil hat: [ON] OFF
Since this board is full of fake news and conspiracy theory nutjobs, I may as well pile on...
I read some pretty weird conspiracy shite a while back about the moon. The reason we haven't gone back is because we made contact with extraterrestrial beings and were told to stay off the moon.
I shite you not. There are wackier people out there than the folks at the Poli board! The shite with the Chinese makes the conspiracy false, but isn't it odd both us and the soviets stopped all moon missions after 1976? I never believed the conspiracy, but it sure is very odd that we just dropped the whole moon thing out of the blue, especially with the soviets never stepping foot there.

Grandpa would roll over...
In case you suck at space... The S-IVB (sometimes S4b, always pronounced "ess four bee") was built by the Douglas Aircraft Company and served as the third stage on the Saturn V and second stage on the Saturn IB. It had one J-2 engine. For lunar missions it was fired twice: first for the orbit insertion after second stage cutoff, and then for translunar injection (TLI).

Why do we need to travel to the moon or Mars? Space travel is retarded.
I understand that the US got duct tape and other inventions out of going to the moon, but we actually invented the duct tape/everything else before taking off. No need to spend that amount of money traveling to the moon to get a few rocks.
I vote you as the worst poster on this website as well. You make sweeping generalizations half the time, like the coal statements in another thread. Why do we need coal was essentially your statement. Someone provides evidence that it's the primary natural resource used for energy. Then you claim it's only near the top with natural gas, which actually changed your argument. You also leave out the fact that China and India and many other countries use coal as a primary resource. And in global economics, by decreasing regulations Obama put on it, you'll add more supply and US companies can make money by selling it to foreign countries even if it's not used in the US. I guess we don't "need coal", but by that logic we don't need gasoline because there are electric cars, even though they still use fossil fuels.
Then you'll claim people's minds work at 1/20th the speed of your mind. And all I've concluded by reading your posts is that you're a buffoon.
