After a successful test flight of NASA’s Artemis-1 moon mission, the space agency now turns its attention to returning Americans to the moon within two to three years. But the U.S. is not the only country with lunar ambitions. China is aggressively pursuing it own plans to land astronauts on the moon and build out a permanent base. Both countries openly talk about the need to have a military presence in space to defend against the other. Already, a dangerous cold war cat-and-mouse game involving U.S., Russian and Chinese satellites plays out every day. NBC News goes in-depth to explore the challenges in a potential battlefield that is complex, congested and contested.

Hopefully, when scientific experts speak up about the need for cooperative efforts it will create a bridge between the dichotomy of what's happening in space and the ground.
Mr. Tyson is accurate in saying that destroying satellites in shared orbits is like "peeing in the pool." We should be figuring out how we can clean up these messes somehow like that robotic arm tech to pick up the junk.
I prefer theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. He possesses a kind and gentle disposition that is nonaggressive and easy to connect to his intellect. Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson gets too emotional and nearly aggressive sometimes.
" Including a woman and a person of colour"…. or blatant racism.
Blow it up. Just cut to the chase and blow the whole world up. But make sure only the poor folks are on it when you do it. That's what's gonna happen anyway.
Tyson is a weird guy
NBC propaganda is out of this world. 🤣 SLS is corrupt. USA sends spy satellite all good. Russia sends a spy satellite and that is irresponsible. 1100 nuclear explosion and Russia is the bad guy. You all bad. Nuclear war will end everybody. Stop supporting a policy that will end us all.
Space is for civilians. Defund space force
The Space Mountain that almost destroyed the Earth 60 million years in the past was a Gods Gift and a Blessing.
So That Jaws(T-Rex,…) Power was replaced by Mamel Care Power.
From Rats to Monkeys in to Humans like,to humans in to Humanity.
Doesn't a high orbit discharge pass through a low orbit before it gets to the surfaces?
Yes indeed, there is a lot to explore. Let's hope within 50 years, we can explore at least 1 parsec ( 19.4, 000,000,000,000 miles) of it.
If they weren't Communists they would have more than eclipsed America in almost every arena, except for military aggression.
So what this documentary actually says is "we are americans and we are allowed to observe everybody anytime anywhere coz the world belongs to us" 🤨
We always hear about mankind being evil war mongers and violent and we should not allow this in space. I don't know how people believe this nonsense in the first place. It's governments that are evil snarling war mongers who smile when they lie to the public. Not humanity just that we allow ourselves to be led by the worst possible examples of humanity, the violent predators who target children, protect those who do and file and blackmail instead of imprisoning them. There's thousands involved from each countries intelligence and security agencies. Riddled with corruption.
Who do you think will win the space race?
Gotta love Niel, like a Boss.
No talks, of who's already on the moon, the structures and activity that is there.
What the US saying was "What is yours is mine and what is mine is mine alone." That pretty sums up the US stance on security and being International, except that it is intentional.
Very much the Hollywood Drama that they always was and is till this day.
What the WEST didn't realized that Chinese is VISITING the Moon in future can cause such panicky responds especially the US, when Chang Er is a Maiden in the Moon that invite Chinese People to be friends.
Get your WOLF ….. to revoke before anything good will come out. Who is crying "WOLF" now?
"…with a woman and a person of color"…. now how f@cking stupid is that? Women and black people arent normal humans? They have less or more of something? NBC you blithering idiots… and then you wonder why racism still is alive and kicking.
Including a "woman and a person of color". I'm sick of these leftist degenerates and their blatent racism all the while pretending to be the exact opposite. Only true racists would point garbage like that out. We're all human beings, leave race and gender out of it. Degenerates.
I’ve got a better idea, let’s stop killing each other. God well stop it
Time to clean up space or no one is going to be able
Pipeline anything,space train,alaska proof.Danger will robinson.Poe
You could use laser links to send data and use high powered beam forming to send the data on the ground to nearby units/area with less effect from hostile jamming.
Neil Tyson finally says something I can agree with. This is all nonsense it's just diving us deeper into trouble and harm.
Come Lord Jesus
😀
There is a Need of a Coalition of Peaceful Spacefaring Nations not the Domination of the US again if we want to be a Peaceful Spacefaring Race in Space . And it must be a Private Undertaking not a Military one so we go to Space as Peaceful Species not a Warfaring one . Heed my Words this is important if we ever meet Others out there in the Great cosmic Community. and we need to be United in the Thought to go out there in Peace not to come as Conquerers as Humanity did in the Past to Colonise….. Earth will need the resources of the Kuiper Belt for our Future .
It's the year 2022 and they are still using the term "colored person." It's a bit embarrassing
Unfortunately, it repeats the lie that China does not want to cooperate when in fact it was the americans who banned all cooperation with China regarding space science.
You could have just said astronauts, you didn't have to add "including a woman and a person of color." What woke stupidity!
With something as an important as a space mission, you want the best people, not just people from every gender and race.
What's with the himars War mongering propaganda? There's no evidence they have done anything over there, and Russia is destroying them as fast as we are sending them. Stop pretending Ukraine is winning this war. You are only convincing children or people with limited intelligence with that garbage.
