China is developing its space capabilities at 'twice the rate' of the United States, US Space Force vice chief of space operations Gen. David Thompson says.

Gen. David Thompson, vice chief of space operations for the US Space Force, said Saturday China is developing its space capabilities at"twice the rate" of the US.

"The fact, that in essence, on average, they are building and fielding and updating their space capabilities at twice the rate we are means that very soon, if we don't start accelerating our development and delivery capabilities, they will exceed us," Gen. Thompson said, adding,"2030 is not an unreasonable estimate."

Cooper has been a steadfast advocate for the Space Force, but said Saturday it is not moving fast enough to"keep up" with private industry. He added:"To really be superior, we've got to go beyond Elon Musk's imagination, Jeff Bezos' imagination, beyond their pocketbooks. budget right now is $17 billion -- that's a lot of money, but considering how crucial space is, are we doing enough?"
