Topicality – Space Exploration/DevelopmentUS-China cooperation would solve for funding, exploration and technology; it’s necessary for further space developments Rutkowski, master’s degree candidate at the School of Advanced International Studies specializing in economic cooperation with China, 2009 (Ryan, “US-China Cooperation in Manned-Space Exploration,” Middle Path, http://rrutkows.blogspot.com/2009/02/us-china-cooperation-in-manned-space.html, February 21, accessed July 7, 2011, NS) However, the continued reluctance to pursue U.S. and China space cooperation, ignores the benefits of such cooperation, namely promote mutual understanding, cost savings, improved transparency, and ensuring long-term gains in human space exploration. Similar with US-Russian cooperation, US-Chinese space cooperation will allow for a cultural exchange through collaboration with US and Chinese astronauts and scientists. China could be a vital source of funding to reduce the rising costs for an expanding U.S. space program. Indeed, China and the US could collaborate on joint-projects, such as ISS or even a lunar base that could help reduce the cost of investment in space exploration for both countries. US-China space collaboration would also reduce security tensions, especially in space-based weapons, by increasing transparency of the long-term intentions of both countries in space technology. Finally, U.S. and Chinese civilian space programs could recognize a common purpose and commitment to the development of space technology to promote progress in human space exploration to the moon, mars, and beyond. U.S-China space cooperation is vital to future progress in space technology and space exploration. The U.S. and China could engage in non-sensitive data and information sharing from satellites, such as debris management, environmental and meteorological conditions, and navigation. The two countries could also engage in a space policy dialogue similar to the annual strategic economic dialogue to build a better understanding of civilian and military space objectives and a common vision for space exploration initiatives. Finally, the U.S. and China could launch bi-lateral and multi-lateral joint-projects with ISS, lunar expeditions, and eventual mars exploration. Ultimately, the future of U.S.-China space cooperation is a necessity for continuation of human progress in exploring our planet, solar system, and worlds beyond.

ESA and ASI have therefore decided to jointly organise a series of regular meetings with the aim of contributing to the discussion on cooperation, and providing an opportunity for exchange of information and coordination. One first tangible outcome of this collective effort by the many space organisations from Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, is a document laying down the common vision of the space exploration leaders. 'The Global Exploration Strategy: the Framework for Coordination', which is the title of this collective paper, will be extensively addressed at the Workshop's opening session, and will form the basis for the ensuing discussions that will focus on the implementation of a coordination mechanism. Europe’s Aurora Exploration Programme, the US Vision for Space Exploration, Japan’s plans for future exploration activities, as well as ambitious automatic missions being prepared by nations like Russia, India and China, offer numerous opportunities for scientific and technological cooperation.
[Clara, 4-29-10, Space.com, "Future Space Exploration Hinges on International Cooperation, Astronauts Say," http://www.space.com/8297-future-space-exploration-hinges-international-cooperation-astronauts.html, accessed 7-10-11] Former NASA astronaut Tom Henricks, a veteran of four space shuttle missions, agreed. He said that the future in space will require much more collaboration between countries than there's been in the past. "I don't think any major effort in space will again be done by a single nation," Henricks said. "They may each have individual sub goals, but it's a human endeavor to go to Mars, and I think that's the way it needs to be approached." Cooperation is a prerequisite to Mars exploration Svitak, Space News, 5-4-11 [Amy, Space News, “China Viewed as Potential U.S. Partner in Future Mars Exploration”, http://www.spacenews.com/policy/110504-china-partner-mars-exploration.html, accessed 7-10-11] U.S. President Barack Obama views China as a potential partner for an eventual human mission to Mars that would be difficult for any single nation to undertake, a senior White House official told lawmakers. Testifying May 4 before the House Appropriations commerce, justice, science subcommittee, White House science adviser John Holdren said near-term engagement with China in civil space will help lay the groundwork for any such future endeavor. He prefaced his remarks with the assertion that human exploration of Mars is a long-term proposition and that any discussion of cooperating with Beijing on such an effort is speculative.
