i mean like generally there are reasons for the us not cooperating with China for space stuff, just look at where their first stages land and the recent tianlong 3 “static” fire
You do know that the whole point of doing science is to evaluate data, right? The only way to get data about a moon rock without studying it themselves would be to get that data from China.
So do you want China to get its way for some reason? Or do you think China would send a fake Moon rock? I honestly don’t understand your issue here.
I trust scientific data, which, when it comes to Moon rocks, shouldn’t be affected by politics in any way. But it does require scientists in multiple countries to evaluate the data. And that should be as many countries with qualified scientists as possible.
So it should be studied by scientists from NASA and the ESA and JAXA and others.
What exactly could they do? This makes no sense. I get the whole idea that the PRC can’t be trusted, but do you think they would fake a Moon rock in some way NASA scientists couldn’t tell or what?
I meant the US can’t be trusted. It doesn’t matter what they can or can’t do. Cooperating with China over anything is out. The policy is to demonise them at every opportunity.
Hardly stupid, China cannot be trusted.
just about as much as the USA cannot be trusted too
With a Moon rock? What are they going to do, put a spy camera in it?

With scientific data. China is take, take, take, for its own benefit and offers nothing back.

That wasn’t even close to what he said
I have no idea what they are trying to say. If China gives America a moon rock, Chinese data on the rock is not really a problem.
As a European, I don’t trust the USA either. Maybe even less so.

Moon rocks, shouldn’t be affected by politics but they clearly are. The US politicises everything. I wouldn’t trust them either.

Okay, but this is about science, not politics.
