It would seem that the race is definitely there if the Chinese are serious. The pressure from them even doing little things will push the US into keeping with its plans whether they're overly expensive or not. We'll see. I have some faith in the new NASA Admin. He's already recognized that the current model of contractor-NASA relations is flawed if no other reason than the costs.

He sure pisses off Keith Cowing at NASA Watch something fierce though!
