China and Russia just inked a deal to team up on building a power plant on the moon, aiming to finish by 2036. Meanwhile, NASA seems to be dialing back its own moon plans, which could leave the U.S. lagging in the new space race.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about lunar real estate—it’s a high-stakes power move in the global competition for space dominance. If China and Russia pull this off, they could control key energy and tech resources on the moon, leaving the U.S. scrambling to catch up. It’s a reminder that the next frontier isn’t just about exploration; it’s about who calls the shots up there.
