Maybe if we make a big enough fuss about the Chinese space program, we can get back into things like they were in the Cold War.

Only without the threat of global thermonuclear annihilation.

Sadly, that's probably the only way to do it. *sigh*

At least it'll be easy convincing the Republicans.
"Hey, do you guys want the ChiComs and the Russians to be the only ones with dedicated launch systems?"

"America will not come third in the Space Race! As President I will ensure an ambitious space launch program for our military, with the excellent safety record we are known for in crewed spaceflight. I will begin preparations for the building of a Space Elevator by 2030. We will go where no American has ever set foot. Blah blah blah"
