Research from both countries has contributed to major findings on Mars. Amid US funding cuts, the time may be ripe to join forces
The mind boggles. If the universe really is teeming with life, it makes us rather insignificant. In diminishing the self-importance of our species, we may be more inclined to cooperate for mutual benefit rather than fight each other. Why are the two superpowers, China and America, even fighting?
