The Russians did try and put a man on the moon and if it was for the failure of the N1 rocket they might have achieved it. There is no reason to think that with the advances in technology since the late 1960's that if the N1 rocket design was resurrected and submitted to modern rocket simulation program that the faults in the rocket could be corrected and a successful mission made with the right funding within a few years.

So it is not just China that America has to fear.

China's space program is currently years behind that of America and Russia and although it is catching up it still has away before it can get to the moon. It hasn't even started a design for a rocket that is powerful enough to make the trip.

At least the Russians have made that start.

Tom Whittaker only had one foot when he climbed the mountian and Erik Weihenmayer was blind when he climb Everest. Then don't forget Kim Hong-Bin, whose hands had been amputated who failed to get the top but did reaching 24,000 feet before he had to give up.

So you never know.
