observe le 11 ao\u00fbt<\/a> la difficult\u00e9 que la NASA aura \u00e0 retrouver les circonstances de la fin des ann\u00e9es 1950, o\u00f9 l’exploration spatiale fut favoris\u00e9e par les orientations militaires de l’\u00e9poque. Aujourd’hui, au contraire, la tendance des militaires, au travers du d\u00e9veloppement des avions-robots, est de se diriger vers les vols automatiques, qui est comme on sait le contraire du vol habit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tAlors, le vol habit\u00e9 est-il condamn\u00e9 aux Etats-Unis? Le seul argument que Pinkerton trouve \u00e0 opposer \u00e0 ce pessimisme est la Chine. C’est-\u00e0-dire l’\u00e9ternelle qu\u00eate am\u00e9ricaine d’un adversaire \u00e0 d\u00e9fier, d’un Ennemi \u00e0 confronter, etc.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00ab So is there any hope for humans in space in the future? Or will everything be computers and robots? Most likely, plans to send humans back to the moon or on to Mars won’t amount to much until an old inspiration becomes a new inspiration that is, international rivalry.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bb Only this time, it won’t be the Russians but rather the Chinese. Two years ago, China became only the third country to independently launch a human into orbit. Americans were too busy fighting in Iraq to pay much attention, but soon enough, it will become apparent that the Chinese are serious about space exploration, including colonization of the moon. And at that point, when we realize that a new rival is beating us, we will get moving again and start competing to get our kind to the moon. But not until then.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
