NASA telling lies, all the way to the moon

China might "take over" the moon as part of its military program, NASA administrator Bill Nelson was quoted as saying recently.

After decades of hyping up a "China threat", to the islands in the Asia-Pacific to the coast of East Africa and Europe, the "threat" has now reached space. But what could be more absurd? In terms of capability, as the world's sole superpower, the United States alone has the capability to "take over" the moon. After all they landed the first man on the moon, way back in 1969, and have since carried out a series of missions, with 12 astronauts having landed on the moon.

In comparison, China hopes to send astronauts there before 2030.
