NASA Administrator Candidate: The US Will Land on the Moon Before Its Rivals to Assess Its Value for National Security
Jason Isakowitz, a billionaire and NASA administrator candidate, said that American astronauts will land on the moon earlier than their competitors, and the presence of the US on the moon is crucial to assess its value for national security.
Isakowitz said at a special committee of the Senate: "The US will return to the moon before our main competitors do, and we will establish a permanent base to understand and assess the economic, scientific, and national security values of the moon."
The Russian side has repeatedly pointed out that Russia, along with other countries including China, advocates preventing an arms race in outer space. The Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that the US and its allies are taking measures to promote the deployment of weapons in outer space and to use outer space for military actions that are not purely defensive, while continuously trying to portray space as a new field of competition and conflict between nations, and view Russia and China as major rivals.
