    But the Chinese would lose the waving bit due to faulty equipment.

      Since China's industry manufactures so much that they have to curb the supply to maintain prices, and Europe's isn't manufacturing anything at all, but just imports all their industrial goods, I don't think that europeans can lecture the chinese on the faultiness of their equipment. Europe is lagging in the space race, if you ask me.

        I think the current chances that it will be an NGO are around zero.
        The chances of an American private company doing moon fly-by cruises before NASA gets to the moon again is quite high. I wouldn't be surprised to see a business or other organization extend a cruise into the establishment of a moonbase.

        The chances of the Chinese doing so are extremely slim.

            Unless the NASA landing is scheduled at around 2025, I think you're wrong.

                  this assumes of course that 'we' do or should care about such things.

                            well to re-phrase, you said europe is lagging behind in 'the space race', as if that's a terrible thing. when in truth, it's almost wholly unimportant to us.

                              It's my personal opinion that a solid amount of standartization will be good for europe, and that generally, parts should be worked out so that work together in harmony. However it seems that most mechanical Engineering experts disagree. They say that many small systems running underneath the hood simulatneously is somehow more efficient....

                                Precisely.
