Hmmm.. moon bases to me means “mining”
There’s heaps of helium 3 in the regolith of the moon which is used for nuclear fusion
It’s a safe non radioactive isotope which is the prime ingredient in a fusion reactor
Byproduct is H2O amongst other things
It’s years away but fusion reactors could power our planet for centuries
Apollo 17 lunar module pilot Harrison ( Jack ) Schmidt proposed the idea 10 years ago and was ignored
What else do you fly to the moon for .... geology , views of the earth ?
The US has already done that , how many more rock samples do you need to study

I bet no one recalls a post I made back around 2005..2006? When I said I met a Chinese chap at an open house I was doing for my Sons real estate office where in I told of the plans this chap from China shared about their space program...and the subsequent poo poo comments.....well?
Wow, that's certainly an extrapolation of the high ground advantage
It reminds me of another sort of analogous quote by Nathan Mayer Rothschild in 1815 along the lines that he didn't care which puppet was in power, it was whoever controlled the money supply that controlled everything (and he controlled the money supply)
Russia and China will cooperate on the creation of an international scientific lunar station. Within the framework of the project, Russia and China will jointly develop a roadmap for the creation of a lunar station, and will also cooperate "in planning, justifying, designing, developing, implementing, operating a project to create an MNLS, including its presentation to the world space community."
Getting closer to that time we all will need to learn to speak Mandarin, ??
We won’t need a full vocabulary; just some key phrases such as:
Don’t shoot.
Where’s the cotton field?
I am not a Muslim, Hindu, Catholic, Jew ........
