Young Says New Tech Is Creating “Space Race” With China
WASHINGTON Senator Todd Young believes the United States is in a space race, except this new race has to do with technology and making sure the U.S. stays ahead of China in that regard.
Young is pushing his Endless Frontier Act before lawmakers on Capitol Hill. It would bolster U.S. leadership in critical technologies through fundamental research in artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and advanced manufacturing.
“In response to Sputnik, the federal government spent, in today’s dollars, $140-billion to put a man on the moon and win the space race,” Young said in a Senate hearing on the bill. “The success of NASA would lead to spin-offs in hundreds of new industries, new products came online and American leadership in aerospace was realized.”
