We Must Win the Race to the Moon - and Defend It


Today’s Secure Freedom Minute with Frank Gaffney: China is reportedly using space assets to help target Iran’s attacks on American personnel, equipment and regional allies.

Unfortunately, such weaponization of space against us is but a small foretaste of what Chinese dictator Xi Jinping has in the works. Especially concerning is his determination to get “boots” on the lunar ground before we return to the moon.



Asked yesterday by Maria Bartiromo whether we would “win the moon race,” President Trump demurred, observing the Chinese might “get lucky.” If they do and arrive with the intention and capability to preclude us from landing on or otherwise using the moon, its resources and strategic location, we will not just be unlucky. We’ll be at a perilous disadvantage in space and here on earth.

Consequently, every effort must now be made to win the race to the moon – and, once there, be prepared to defend it.
