> hopefully we can piggy back with the Chinese on their new projects or something

The US won't touch China with a ten feet pole for anything space-related (and vice versa). The best the US may see is a bit of cooperation with the EU - assuming we can solve our internal post-covid and euro-skeptic squabbles - and that's it.

He's obviously talking from a Russian point of view.

And thank god. My theory

China and Russia should form their own platform for future space explorations.

The EU should really have their own thing and collab with both West and East. The US can do whatever.

The China/Russia alliance could probably work with "other" BRICS nations not entirely known for space research.
