They're all very competitive, ... but I've never heard any of them say anything bad about another.
It's interesting how at odds we were then with the Soviet Union,
There's going to be a scramble to turn this into a worm.
Space is not an enterprise that belongs to the U.S. or to Russia or to China - it is a human endeavor and experience. And that's as it should be.
