You guys must be kidding here right? I mean to say NASA is losing it's superiority over other because of few budget cuts is quite preposterous. Just because there are other space agencies that finally are able to send a man to space doesn't mean that they are at one with NASA. China plans to have a spacecraft in the moon by the year 2020. Well guess what, the US has done that 50 years ago. The sheer amount of research and exploration done by NASA will put it's closest rival to shame. Where was the rest of the world when NASA had it's Apollo, Voyager, Pioneer, viking, Pathfinder and Hubble program? Sure, it might not be the most efficient agency, but the sheer amount of achievements it has made over the past 5 decades are insurmountable by any present agency. You might as well compare a street beggar with Bill Gates...
