Besides the potential media attention, what is the actual economic value of such a White Elephant expense? I guess the propaganda itself. Or maybe Airbnbs for billionaires.
The USA and NASA also used to have fancy planned ambitions for the Moon, but then reality hit.

China wants to knock off the US as the top superpower. Part of doing this is to get other nations to see you as the premier power on Earth. Projects like a Moon base help sell your country as being more powerful and competent than other contenders.
If you're the leader of an Africa nation with a bunch of minerals that both the US and China want to mine, do you go with the rising power that's putting a base on the Moon or the failing empire that's lecturing you about the importance of gay rights and childhood gender transitioning?
>No anon, it's whoever gives the biggest bribes
That's certainly part of the game but both sides already do that so it comes down to which country do you want your country associated with? One taking humanity to the stars or one threatening to impose crippling economic sanctions if you don't let sexual perverts access your children?

China doesn't have to deal with the FAA, FCC, USFWS, and a dozen other government agencies in addition to a president that hates SpaceX and tons of politicians and activists angry Musk stopped the flow of mental sludge from the worst shitpile in San Francisco out to the world through twitter. China, or really the CPC, just says "we're doing this" and gets about to doing it. They have to deal with greater levels of fraud and less innovative thinking but they also don't have a government agency trying to force them to hire illegal aliens or spies from other countries.

See people. I know you are all retarded on /sci/ but this is what I warned you about.
Elon Musk is a hamster wheel for Western Space Exploration. He's captured all the best talent and capital and attention. But he does nothing but spin in place like a hamster wheel. Almost like he's in place to stop us on purpose. No really.
Either way it's likely too late. The chinks will likely surpass us in space and never slow down. It's theirs now and you can blame your false god Elon Musk for it all.
You don't see the Chinese making stupid shiny cock rockets or boosters that land themselves. They just launch mass into orbit steady and low key. No exploding rockets. Mark my words, Elon is a plant and he fucked you all....hard.

Is not Elon's fault, if it were up to him, we would be flying starships twice a week.
Is the FAA's fault. Give him carte blanche and speed will increase dramatically.

How is SpaceX not doing a good job? What on Earth were other aerospace companies doing before SpaceX came along? Jack shit, that's what.
You live in an alternative reality or have some mental issue that keeps you from seeing what SpaceX has accomplished versus what the old space companies were doing, which was pretty much nothing but spending money.

SpaceX isn't doing a good job because they constantly under deliver on their promises. If they didn't constantly pretend to take people to mars by 2020 then what would be left is a massively government subsidizes company that has a good launch platform, which isn't bad but isn't anything special either. You simply can't make constant insane promises, fail and then pretend that you are doing a good job.

Are you retarded? The Falcon 9 is probably the best rocket in human history by multiple metrics. Are you trying to say what they've achieved is minimized by missed timelines?
>>16222310
China is a country, SpaceX is a company you stupid faggot. If the US had any real interest in going back to the moon they'd devote 4% of the budget to NASA again and steadily send up mass too. Musk is solving for Congress not caring by making mass to orbit cheap. The problem is the government, and if SpaceX didn't exist there wouldn't be any hope at all.
>But he does nothing but spin in place like a hamster wheel. Almost like he's in place to stop us on purpose.
Before SpaceX, rocket tech had not changed in about 50 years. After von Braun died it actually got less effective and more expensive. You're completely backwards

Imagine the carnage if they were to ever experiment with rotational gravity. Chinamen seem to be drawn towards inserting themselves into the inner workings of rotating assemblies, judging by the CCTV footage I've seen from factories.

Amazing how there is countries that hand out development aid to china while not having a moon mission or even soace program of their own, meanwhile china here does.
It's almost as if the CCP was incentivised to keep inequality high.

Best of both worlds would be to take all of Musk's money and give it to NASA. Then we get production in the direction the public favors instead of what some billionaire's whims are for that day. If Musk is as pro-space as he claims and this isn't about ego, he should be willing to take a back seat and let the professionals who understand this type of thing take over.

You go with China, because you know they can't project force that far so once the debt needs to be collected you just go nuh uh.

if they get access to all of that money easily, NASAniggers will blow thru all of it in two years delivering nothing except padding their shitty headquarters with more women, black and their leadership will probably go on TV lecturing people about diversity, equity, and inclusion as well. unironically Musk is only one in america can have any hope to deliver because he want spacex to success to cash out.
