Now that the space race is back, when will the USA get their shit together and stop being cucked to death by the Chinese? Will we get a third actor this time like Europe or Japan or India this time?

Irrelevant, launching satellites in LEO is easy, we know how to do that since half a century, going by number of objects is disingenuous considering starlink is designed to pollute the orbit with thousands of small satellites.
Why can't the US get to the moon? Why can't the US do anything new regarding space colonization?

we already have

Because NASA is a science organization. They do everything from the lens of advancing science so moon colonies are not really on the menu. Alos the US hasn't really cared since the USSR collapsed. Why do you think all of our military equipment is still based on old designs? NASA is starting to get their asses into hear with SLS and contracting out new lunar lander sbut this stuff takes along time to spin back up.

Please enlighten me: just how exactly did blowing up two space shuttles advance the sciences?
>Alos the US hasn't really cared since the USSR collapsed.
Now that seems closer to the truth.

It has everything to do with the attitude of the people involved. Read up on the story around Linda Ham. It is really, really bad.

Ahead - of what? My guess is that 16 Psyche is the next space race goal, and the Chinese has a pretty good chance given their willingness to sacrifise huge amounts of people.
