China has said that they will put a man on the moon by 2030 and that they will build a permanent lunar base there, along with Russia by 2035.

Mr. Isaacman, if China beats us to the moon, what consequences might America face? Mr. Chairman, I really appreciate that question, and I couldn't agree more with all of your commentary, sir, including in your opening remarks. (01:25–01:39)
