The head of NASA announced the space race of the United States and China

“Unfortunately, I believe that we are in a space race with China.

If we talk about the United States, then I would like China to be a partner, as is the case with Russia, ”TASS quoted him as saying.

Nelson noted that cooperation in space between Beijing and Washington is unlikely to be established, since "China is a closed country, and transparency is necessary for cooperation in space."

Earlier, the head of NASA said that he was looking forward to meeting with the general director of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin, as soon as the situation with the pandemic allows.
