If there weren't ESA, NASA, CNSA, JAXA, RFSA how much earlier could we have had this??
We should have a World Space Agency instead of national and regional space agencies. I understand some want to have nationalist pride in these accomplishments. That holds us back. Perhaps one day we will look back and calculate what it's cost us.
