    It's commonly called "grandstanding", and even more commonly called "shooting off their mouths".

    No, by the time an announcement to the public is made the program has been underway for some time. Congress does not need to pass what would be nice if they did. The U.S has been the leader in space for decades and for all practical purposes still is or so we've always believed. The sudden urgency to become dominant suggest there is something other than the U.S that is. Is it China, Russia or something else? This post was edited by O-uknow at June 21, 2018 9:19 PM MDT
