China Plans to Be on Mars in... 2033! Will U.S. up-the-ante to 2028? Is this all part of Hank's plan?

I'm just surprised that Reuters didn't mention John and Hank's bet.

...look, I'm not saying this is likely or anything, but history suggests that when a major U.S. rival starts pushing into space, there's a strong precedent for the U.S. to say, "oh yeah? hold my beer..." and suddenly we're taking small steps and giant leaps. Precedent!

(for the record, I think it's more likely that AFC Wimbeldon will be in the Premier League than the U.S. landing a human on Mars in 2028.)
