Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

China spends a quarter of what the US does in military and somehow gets 5 times more accomplishments. This is either 1 a lie to get more spending or 2 gross mismanagement by the US
China certainly could be lying.
Half of the US states are purposely bankrupting their education systems to make sure that the 1 percenters are the only ones with any advantage. Even in the States that aren't actively trying to stamp out education the poor and middle class can't afford a respectable education.
China is sitting on a pile of natural resources and doesn't have any problems with underpaying and working people to death.
They're set up to do a lot with very little, they have a lot of people and resources and they're not afraid to educate enough people to get the job done.
It's not just space, they're getting places with electric cars that we can't touch.
It'll be interesting to see where all this ends up.
5:1 is less than I'd have guessed on the money. We have a capitalism problem. Contractors dont charge an honest price, they charge every penny they can get away with. MIC is just a big money printing machine for a couple dozen companies.
That $45 hammer meme isn't just a meme.
We have a southern problem, they know they can bribe the good ol boys for pennies on the dollar and the pork will always flow.
Cut the spending, send it to states where people learned to read.
Tons of information theft by china too. They stole plans too so many things it saved them billions
And western companies would never resort to corporate espionage would they?
NASA's headquarters are in Alabama.
2 people managed to utterly destroy NASA and everything it stood for:
George Walllace: Incensed that NASA did not enforce the rigid segregation he originally prescribed
Richard Shelby: Who made sure all NASA funding went straight to Alabama and only Alabama, all contractors had to work there, and all private space funding was absolutely forbidden: https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/01/so-long-richard-shelby-and-thanks-for-all-the-pork/#gsc.tab=0
If we want to have a space program again, we need to take it out of Alabama, or it's just a money faucet, the equivalent of giving inbred cavemen an electron microscope, which they then tear apart to beat each other with.
What are those accomplishments?
