00:00NASA just slammed the door shut on Chinese nationals.
00:03On September 5, Chinese citizens working with NASA were suddenly locked out.
00:08Email stopped.
00:09Logans failed.
00:11Meeting invites vanished.
00:12NASA later confirmed it had banned Chinese nationals from all access, physical and digital,
00:18citing national security.
00:20That means no more facilities, no more research systems, and definitely no collaboration.
00:25Why?
00:26Because China's space program is accelerating fast.
00:29The U.S. sees it as a direct challenge.
00:32Chinese astronauts are already banned from the International Space Station.
00:36And now this move pushes the two space giants even further apart.
00:39NASA's acting chief made it clear.
00:41We're in a second space race, and China won't beat us to the moon.
00:46But China says its ambitions are for all of humanity.
00:49Still, tensions are rising.
00:51The moon isn't just a destination.
00:53It's a battlefield for rare minerals, resources, and power.
00:57The new space race is here.
00:59And it's no longer about science.
01:00It's about who rules the next frontier.
