Fanboy Space Wars

Interesting that the Russians are winning. Anyone want to give a reason as to why?

Autocracies are pretty efficient, because the populations' wealth is redirected toward goals without long discussion processes like those of parliaments and voting.

but they're broke

The people are poor, the government and militaries are usually very well-funded.

A combined NASA/SpaceX program.

Russia is for sure gunning for the moon (probably pseudo-military) with their new launch facility and rumors of a super heavy booster in development, idk if they're really looking at mars at the moment
>lol at ULA

>>7925523
Martians... duh!

>>7925523
Already been there.

Do you mean first 'man on mars'?

It is going to be an international consortium.

They already have one, it's called Energia.

Japan wins

Russia has some of the richest people in the world.

>>7925523
>No China

Yeah that's not smart. I'd seriously put my money on them.

>>7929700
I didn't add them because none of them have ever outlined any Mars plan of any sort. ULA was added as an anti-SpaceX joke. The only people talking or have ever talked about going to Mars are Russia, NASA and SpaceX

>>7929710
Then why can't they afford the F-35?

Man fuck aliens. hope we start some sort of species war with them. Would be cool to create human cat hybrids though to fight aliens.
