Not true. In the exploration of Helium-3 on the moon, we are No.2 in the world - just 1 year behind China. After China's and India's minerology missions to the moon, Japan, USA, and Europe are following in our footsteps to make a mineral map of the moon for He-3.
Remember guys, this new space race is for our survival (basic energy production) and not for the cold war as it was in the 1960s.
