Was the term "Red Planet" a prophecy.

Will we rename it Dengland.

I wish, as a Chinese. Just hope that Chinese technology ensures us to go to mars before the US.

As a recent convert to the attitude that we ought, as nations, consider all other nations as allies, all, and not some allies, but some adversaries. We will never achieve the age-old dream of peace on Earth, goodwill to man, if we cannot abandon the thought that some of us should be adversaries. Therefore, in that light, I applaud your national pride, and hope the best for you. You will forgive, then, if I have the same pride for my USA. But, what I really think is that it would be wonderful to go as Earthlings, and not as separate nations. However, I do not believe we ought to abandon nationalities in favor of a one-world government, for I fear a loss of our individual cultures. I have been in many countries, including China, and I appreciate their different cultures, and celebrate our human diversity.

The race is on.

Though I firmly agree with Faux, that cooperation in Space exploration and technology would be the NICE way forwards.

Though perhaps, in terms of evolutionary progress, NICE is irrelevant. 

I am sorry, I misinterpreted the topic statement, I thought it meant that China will be the first to establish an actual colony on Mars, as I think this is what the “red planet” refers to.

To your interpretations, no.

Hahaha, Communist 'Red planet, hahahahahahaha.

I get it now,

Because Deng Xiaoping.

Yes correct.

The Red Planet does indeed refer to the Planet Mars, and current explorations thereof.

But the "prophecy", was a playful dig, aimed at our American Brothers and Sisters....(All genders inclusive)

Do you get a version of Robot Wars on Chinese TV?

I currently envisage Rover Wars.

I, too, thought your reference was to China, given the solid color of the flag's background. I don't think of the American flag as a singular color any more than I do of the Union Jack, or the Tri-Colour of France, my heritage.

Well, there was obviously a hint of China there.

You contradict the first half with the second half.  Could you clarify? As far as I know cultures exist regardless. 

Did I?

First half: I do not believe we ought to abandon nationalities.

Second half: I appreciate their different cultures.

Therefore, because of differing cultures in different nations [yes, some nations have similar cultures, like USA and Canada] we should maintain different nations. There are certainly cultural differences between USA and China. What contradiction? Do we need a dictionary, again?

Congratulations on the landing of Zhurong rover on Mars!
