China and Europe plan to build 'Moon Village'

The US needs to get over its paranoia and work together with others instead of imposing all forms of hegemony on other nations in a bid to be "America First", despite its claims to be a big brother to the rest of the world's nations. If the US hadn't been so paranoid of the USSR during the Cold War and instead worked with them on space technology, and if the US hadn't excluded China from working together on any and all space matters, we could already have a lunar city by now and well on our way to colonizing Mars. Space is a frontier that needs all countries to work together, not individually due to mistrust and paranoia of others because the cost is too great for any single country to do much alone.

Well there has been some cooperation with Russia, since the space shuttle ended all astronauts to the ISS have gone on Soyuz rockets. I think there is more cooperation in space among the nations than there is on the earth

That's because the ISS is an international project anyway.

You're going to be waiting a while then.

To be fair

1) without the cold war an the race for hegemony between USA and USSR we wouldn't probably had a man on the moon so quickly. 

And at the time, USSR were equally paranoid towards the US. 

2) China's space program is quite entangled with the military so concerns aren't so far fetch. 

 

That said, I agree that space is and should be an internationally shared effort and that the US space program, for as much as it is civilian, has strong ties with their own military as well. 

 

Isolating China's space efforts in an attempt to prevent a technology leak to me is shortsighted, because you just push them to do it on their own, fueling even more isolationism, nationalism ("national pride" because they made it on their own, without "help") and delaying the inevitable. 

While, if you" share", you have also potentially a better control or at least insight on their level of development.
