Secure Freedom Minute: Welcome to a Space Race We Can’t Afford to Lose

By

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson had an unsettling welcome to the New Year. In an interview published on January 1st by Politico, the former U.S. senator announced that the Chinese Communist Party is preparing to colonize the Moon and may use force to deny us access to it.
