NASA Chief Says China Could Claim the Moon if It Beats the US to Its Surface

NASA Chief Says China Could Claim the Moon , if It Beats the US to Its Surface.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson gave an interview with Politico that was published on Jan.

1.

He said that China's military aggression in the South China Sea could allude to the future of the moon.

Specifically, if China makes it back to the moon's surface before the U.S., it may attempt to claim it as its own territory.

.

It is a fact: we're in a space race.

And it is true that we better watch out that they don't get to a place on the moon under the guise of scientific research.

, Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico.

And it is not beyond the realm of possibility that they say, 'Keep out, we're here, this is our territory.'

If you doubt that, look at what they did with the Spratly Islands, Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico.

China's new space station, Tiangong, was recently completed.

Beijing intends to conduct three moon missions over the next decade.

The country also claims it discovered a new potential energy source on the moon.

NASA plans to land astronauts on the moon by 2025 with its Artemis 3 mission that it is working on with SpaceX.

I ask the question every day: 'How is SpaceX's progress?'

And all of our managers are telling me they are meeting all of their milestones, Bill Nelson, NASA Administrator, via Politico

Taiwan Dares China With Live-Fire HIMARS Rocket Launcher Tests, U.S Speeds Up Weapon Flow to Allies

Taiwan has begun live-fire HIMARS drills at Jiupeng base, testing U.S.-supplied systems amid rising tensions in the South China Sea. The military exercise—part of a broader training campaign through June 2025—includes high-precision ATACMS missile launches and underscores Taiwan’s defense readiness. The U.S. has accelerated weapon shipments, with Taiwan set to receive 29 HIMARS launchers and hundreds of missiles by 2027. As Chinese aggression intensifies, regional allies including the U.S. are reinforcing their presence.

Philippines General Slams China Over Claim on Disputed Waters | U.S Deploys Missiles In SCS Drills

A top Philippine general has issued a stark warning over China's aggressive actions in the South China Sea, calling Beijing's claims "illegal and coercive." Brigadier General Logico criticized China’s expanding control near Philippine waters as U.S., Philippine, and Australian forces launch massive joint military drills. With 14,000 troops and international observers involved, the Balikatan exercises underscore a growing alliance. For the first time, the U.S. deployed deadly NMESIS missile systems near Taiwan, intensifying regional tension.

WWII Ship Sinks Before U.S.-Philippines Drill | BRP Malvar Goes Down Near Disputed Shoal [Video]

WWII Ship Sinks Before U.S.-Philippines Drill | BRP Malvar Goes Down Near Disputed Shoal

The BRP Miguel Malvar, an 80-year-old World War II ship, sank unexpectedly before it could be used as a live-fire target in the U.S.-Philippine Balikatan drills. Originally set to be sunk off Zambales, rough seas and the vessel's age caused it to go under prematurely. The Malvar held historical value as a former U.S. Navy ship that once hunted Japanese submarines. Although the target drill was canceled, joint military exercises continued near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, highlighting growing U.S.-Philippine cooperation in deterring China's presence in the South China Sea. #BRPMiguelMalvar #Balikatan #WWIIShip #PhilippineNavy #USPhilippines #SouthChinaSea #ScarboroughShoal #ChinaTensions #MilitaryDrills #NavalLegacy #LiveFireExercise #USMilitary #RoughSeas #NavalHistory #Shipwreck #USPhilAlliance #PacificSecurity #OldWarship #ShipSinks #JointExercises #MaritimeSecurity #HistoricalVessel #AsiaPacific #USDefense #PhilippinesNews #SeaPower #Balikatan2025 #USIndoPacific #ChinaDeterrence #NavalForce

China FLEXES Naval Muscle With New Frigate | XI Warns Taiwan And U.S With New 'QINZHOU' Warship

China’s newest warship Qinzhou has completed a dramatic live-fire drill just days after joining the PLA Navy’s Southern Theater Command. The stealth frigate Type 054B, hull number 555, was seen in state media footage sinking a target using its main gun and close-in weapon system. This marks Beijing’s bold push to expand naval dominance in disputed waters.

Trump’s New Iron Dome? Musk's SpaceX to Lead Mega-Missile Defense Project | 1000 Satellites Plan Out

Donald Trump has unveiled a visionary missile defense initiative, dubbed the "Golden Dome," aimed at fortifying the United States' defense against potential missile threats. Elon Musk’s SpaceX, in partnership with Palantir and Anduril, is emerging as a front-runner to take on a key role in this mega-missile defense project. The ambitious plan includes deploying over 1,000 satellites equipped with advanced tracking technology to detect and intercept incoming missiles worldwide. SpaceX has proposed a "subscription service" model for the government to pay for access to the system, bypassing the need for outright ownership, although the proposal has sparked debates over the risks of relying on a private company for defense upgrades and pricing control. #DonaldTrump #ElonMusk #TrumpGoldenDome #GoldenDomeMissile #TrumpMissileDefense #GoldenDomeUSA #GoldenDomeDefense #TrumpDefensePlan #USGoldenDome #GoldenDomeSystem #TrumpSpaceX #GoldenDomeProject #AmericaDefense #GoldenDomeForAmerica #TrumpDefenseInitiative #USMissileDefense #GoldenDomeVsIronDome Also Read China Brushes Off US Tariff Threats, Warns Against 'Numbers Game' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-brushes-off-us-tariff-threats-warns-against-numbers-game-4126079.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Freezes USD 2.2 Billion In Grants To Harvard University :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-freezes-usd-2-2-billion-in-grants-to-harvard-university-4124075.html?ref=DMDesc US Teen Nikita Casap Accused Of Killing Parents To Fund Plot To Assassinate Donald Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-teen-nikita-casap-accused-of-killing-parents-to-fund-plot-to-assassinate-donald-trump-4123199.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~GR.124~HT.410~
