@mike_malaska@deepspace.social I'm going to caveat my "devastated" response because I'm not OK with, but devastated is not what I'll feel.
Disappointment. And some anger that we squandered a lot of opportunities to be on the Moon already.
So yes, if China gets to the Moon before we return, I'll be deeply disappointed. But hopeful that we'll redouble our efforts to return there for good.

@chgowiz@dice.camp So, as a side bet, do you think if Chinna beat us to the moon that US would double-down on their efforts to establish a base there? Would the American taxpayers and voters feel the continued urgency?
