Well, when the USA was denied participation in research on the Tiangong Space Station, they claimed it was not up to their standard and wanted signs and instructions to be in English, making that as an excuse for their failure to gain access. The USA wants China to change all that in order for the USA to participate. China said that its refusal to let the USA on board the Tiangong Space Station was that the USA had nothing positive to contribute. That was a very stinging rebut. Did the USA feel the sting attempting to spin its exclusion around?
When China landed a probe on Mars, the USA was asking how China managed to do that, thinking that the Chinese were still far behind the USA in space technology. Landing a probe on Mars is no easy thing for China, knowing that the Chinese were latecomers in the space race, compared to the USA more than five decades of head start. What the Chinese pulled off was eye-opening.
China is now testing its reusable rocket tech that will make transport to the Tiangong Space Station and launching satellites into orbit much cheaper. China is going to launch an unprecedented large number of satellites to rival Starlink and this breakthrough is going to be a game changer.
Oh, by the way, the two stranded Astronauts on the International Space Station since June 5, 2024, are now scheduled to return on March 19 if I do not read wrongly. With all the touting and experience that the USA and NASA had, rescuing two stranded astronauts took more than 286 days to undertake, if the March 19 date do materialize. Excuses after excuses were trotted out to cover all the ineptitudes of NASA and its space superiority. Where is Trump's space force that he is gloating about for years?
I am sure that when these two astronauts do return to earth there will be a song and dance about how great the rescue mission was and how difficult it was to carry out. Russia could have done it in a week. Do not make Putin laugh at the touted superiority of the USA and NASA's space program.

USA space program is another clown show between NASA and SpaceX. This saga over the rescue of the two stranded astronauts clearly shows the readiness of both when problems arise. They were unprepared and probably are regretting not having the Russians involved. Oh, I forgot that the Russians were sanctioned by them. Anyway, let us just enjoy the spin with one party blaming the other.
The USA had been so pre-occupied with sanctioning Russia and antagonizing China that they forgot about preparing themselves for trouble at home. Their unpreparedness during the Los Angeles wildfires clearly exposed their failings. Lack of water must be the most surprising excuse in a country touted to have the best water system in the world. And they even had to recruit firefighters from convicts to do the job. Just left me wondering whether these recruits were contributing to the spread and looting or fighting the fires.
Going back further, during the COVID19 epidemic, the USA was massively caught unprepared in terms of stockpiles of medical equipment and even masks, resulting in more than 1.2 million deaths. Even India, with a population more than four times that of the USA had only slightly more than half a million deaths. That is from a country where healthcare system is well below the USA standard or even non-existent.
Lest I forget to mention, Boeing is the partner of NASA in the USA space program, building rockets for NASA, so who could really be surprised that NASA is having rocket problems. Even in aircraft manufacturing, Boeing is losing its repute in building safe and reliable planes without landing gears falling off, doors dislodging and fires in cabins.
While China's space program is innovating and its Tiangong Space Station expanding, the International Space Station that the USA inherited from Russia is about to fall apart without Russian input. If the USA were to depend on Boeing to build another space station, I wonder whether it will even get off the ground fast enough to challenge China, LOL.
The USA isolated China from participating in research on the International Space Station. China went ahead to build its own space station.
The USA is isolating China from having a foothold in building high-end chips and China is into building its own high-end chips and even the equipment.
What else is the USA going to ban China from? EVs are already lost and over. Solar Panels are already lost and over. Wind turbines are already lost and over. Raw materials and logistics are already cornered by China and over. Shipbuilding has already been overtaken by China and is over. Steel and aluminum production is also over and yet the USA is trying to dominate this sector by raising tariffs against allies. Agriculture strangulation is over with China widening its sources of supply away from the USA.
Now divide and rule is again coming into focus. But it looks more like the USA is isolating itself from its allies more than dividing others from trading or their moving towards trading with China. Are the USA strategic advisors still sleeping and not doing their work properly?
