    No, I get that. But it’s not anything they could realistically mine now, nor is it anything we don’t know is there too. They’re just going there to say, “hey we’re in the moon!” I say, good for them. So, what is the realistic point of landing a lunar lander there? Is it just a publicity stunt? Are they just trolling us? And what is the usefulness of that?

    I guess it’s just a propaganda stunt, and I guess I understand that from a Chinese perspective.

      It’s for shovelling public money into the hands of a few useless corporations, like everything the US does.
