Living in China, I can say there is an incredible amount of patriotism around their space program and I am sure they will make it happen.
3. Support for Space-X does not preclude govenment funded programs. You can support both.

I had originally stated China specifically as the "other country", but I removed it for fear of making my thread too political. I fully recognize that they will be that "other country" that will try to beat us to the moon.
