After a successful test flight of NASA’s Artemis-1 moon mission, the space agency now turns its attention to returning Americans to the moon within two to three years. But the U.S. is not the only country with lunar ambitions. China is aggressively pursuing it own plans to land astronauts on the moon and build out a permanent base. Both countries openly talk about the need to have a military presence in space to defend against the other. Already, a dangerous cold war cat-and-mouse game involving U.S., Russian and Chinese satellites plays out every day. NBC News goes in-depth to explore the challenges in a potential battlefield that is complex, congested and contested.

Including a woman and person of color
No one cares
Science Fiction
What’s the meaning of this person of color garbage you added for the video? Better don’t Val me person o color. Keep ur racism t yourselves.
I knew it the Chinese peed in the pool 😂😂
America's goal to WANT to be able to BOMB OTHER COUNTRIES FIRST is not good for mankind. Time for E.T. to put a stop to this all. America should stop bombing other countries. Too many.
I don't know about the rest of you, but i'm glad to watch something that isn't constant political attacks. That stuff is too tiresome to deal with 24/7. x.x
All the world's problems have always been because of white people it's fact all wars all viruses and diseases have somehow been created or caused or spread along with war and millions and millions of deaths because of white people AKA the Antichrists
Saw the title and had to click this. 😂 Love anything to do with space!
If only we could trust ourselves from starting a war with Russia! 🥵
#ItSucksMan 😭
I personally know there is some smart people working on the US side .
Super interesting. I am surprised the military let Tom see as much as he did. There must have been some serious conversations about what was allowed and what wasn't during his visits to classified facilities.
Neil Degrasse Tyson is always insightful as well as fun to listen to, but frankly I was more interested in the segments on military capabilities, and how that side of it might game out over the coming decades.
As a "space race" kid (born in '59 to a military family, grew up watching all the Mercury and Apollo launches, etc) it is not surprising to me at all that after the initial "Look everybody, we're in SPACE!" wears off, it would become a strategic theater for the world's superpowers. You knew that was bound to happen.
And then there's the economic side. Space-mining is destined to be the new Gold Rush, there's no doubt about it. SpaceX may be an early runner in that rush, but the they certainly won't be the last, and over time, will almost certainly be eclipsed by other companies, as always happens when a completely new industry starts mushrooming.
It's going to be a very interesting next chapter in human history.
But the US has those fancy UFO 👾
So secret nobody even knows…
Neil, I disagree on your view on the only reasons why we would put the Martian goals as near future event, simply because, the reasons why JFK announced we should go to the moon, so your point cannot be validated, even the very reasons that you stated are the reasons Mr Elon Musk has stated at some point or another, so your opinion validates the reasons why it SHALL BE in the very near future, and NOT in the distant future; I can assure you that Elon Musk is not the only individual thinking what he is thinking; and where ever he fails others shall succeed !
Like I said stopping in musk from going to SpaceX going to the Mars is impossible if NASA keeps stopping them in 2026 he's supposed to already have six ships on the moon or on Mars I mean and two years later he's supposed to send people to Mars well this has been sent back from 2020 when he was supposed to do that 20 22 when he was supposed to do that 20 24 when you're supposed to do that 20 26 minutes you just made it impossible for him to do it while he's still alive.
Harris!!!!!, ??? Give me, no, give all of us a break.
I do not care who dislikes what I have to say for in my humble opinion, China is are enemy with out a doubt!!!
How can a back side of the moon be invisible when we get satellites on the back side of the moon going around the Moon and has over higher than the moon it can't be just cuz it'll tell you we don't got one over there we do.
Accusations at Russian China already placed weapons in space Russia did it back in 1964 or was it 1975 or was it 1955 Russia already has nuclear weapons in space they have them on satellite facing at United States of America they've been there for a long time but they never used them because they didn't want you to know that didn't want anybody to know that but they're still there.
Cislunar? Well, as a Cis male, that's somehow encouraging for me and the space program.
Do you actually think the Aliens already on the moon are just going to let you come up & build your own base. Apollo missions had that problem & this is why the whole program was shut down. Now you just expect to go up there without any reprocussions ! Lmao sure you will, lol
amazing nbc awesome as always

Bill I need to work on getting you more funding and I think combining the Air Force budget and NASA’s would help to interlink the two biggest higher ground forces we need!
Wow
Nelson looks mummified. He needs to retire. His generation and their way of thinking has been a huge issue.
The World Economic Forum, NATO, the United Nations 🇺🇳, the CIA and Ukraine 🇺🇦 have provoked the war with Putin. They have been attacking Russians in Ukraine since 2015. They need to be taken out. They are enemies of us the American 🇺🇸 people as well.
They in partnership with the CCP deployed the COVID-19 bio weapons against us. They have killed and injured millions of us.
13:46 US should place anti satellite anti missile systems on their spy satellites. Sadly, the world faces the greatest global totalitarian communist threat, since the rise of Hitler !!! 😡😡😡
They couldn't go 60 seconds without bringing up women and colored people. GO FIGURE 🤣
The Truth Is JESUS CHRIST Is LORD and RISEN SAVIOR The One and Only True GOD of Abraham Isaac Jacob .
The Rapture is a Glorious Day
For GOD's children .
But a Very Very Very Dreadful Day
for the Unsaved have to go through
The Tribulation .
Even So JESUS CHRIST
Is
Coming Back
All Glory to GOD ALMIGHTY .
Why they have to say including one woman and a person of color, instead of 3 people? Stop it already!
Neil deGrasse Tyson was the only voice of reason and honesty in the whole video.
As luck would have, we have the truth, and USA blocked China from space station so they had to create their own. Theirs is open to anyone lpl
3:33 "China has launched more rockets than the US in 2022" you said it, it's false. How many other false assertions are you making? It's no wonder the public DOES NOT TRUST MAIN STREAM MEDIA and rightly so.

Pure stupidity 🙄
NBC News….You earned this sub…Awesome content, thank you.
Battlefield? , a woman and person of of color? What the heck who is writing your segments . How about just saying their names and where they are from. Your inclusiveness facade awkwardly separates us as a people . Again
He meant retractable. Deployable. 🙄
“Including a woman and person of color” statement needs to be a secret because all your going to do is virtue signal and tarnish their reputations. You will make people believe 2 qualified astronauts were booted so they can win brownie points with the crazies. Just hire the most qualified crew possible regardless of their gender or race!
I wonder if General Milley still has to take the annual PFT?
A person of color? I guess NASA is not color blind.
