Besides, American politicians are too busy increasng national debt and sending troops to a pointless war. Plus, they refuse to have anything to do with China in space, period.

So now NASA is going to forget about the moon and just send astronauts to land on an asteroid speeding by? Most asteroids don't even come within the moon's orbit of Earth. And how much time are they going to spend on these asteroids?
