Is Sino-American Co-operation in Space Possible?

In this episode of The Focus, we examine whether it is possible to conceive of Sino-American cooperation in space. During the high point of the Cold War, American and Soviet space programs did find a point at which they could cooperate. The iconic imagery of the Soyuz-Apollo mission was symbolic of the period known as Detente, where both the US and USSR sought to de-escalate international tensions. Could a similar style of program work to de-escalate current tensions between the People’s Republic of China and the United States? In this episode of The Focus, John speaks with long-time space journalist and author Leonard David to find out.
