The space race between China and the United States caused a lot of discussion on Chinese social media networks. The discussions were particularly fierce when it came to comparing the lunar space station to the Mars life support system.

Most people looked at this from an objective and rational standpoint.

For example, those that supported the United States said that the BFR rocket used the most advanced liquid oxygen methane engine in the world and that the BFR rocket could reach a maximum thrust of 138 trillion Newtons. All of these specs trumped Skyglow.

Not to mention that Mars was tens of millions of kilometers away. The transport difficulty wasn't even comparable; obviously, the United States achieved more.

Those that supported China looked at it from a "usefulness" perspective. After all, Mars was millions of kilometers away and had a launch window of once every two years. On the other hand, the Moon was "so close to home".
