I hope this give the politicos the kick up the preverbial to get some competition in place.
The moon is now a stepping stone, not a target, if Nasa play this right they could make it look like china are 50 years behind them.
Probably best not to get into a straight head to head, just aim to get a man on Mars. Perhaps a permanent moon base would be an alternative strategy.

TAL-1M motor gearbox woes
in Discussions - Mounts
Posted
The three 'sprung-screws' mentioned by the OP are there to press on a clutch.
The idea is to have them as loose as you dare, so the mount will slip on the clutch and not the gears, that way if you bump your mount or it hits the pillar you won't damage the gearbox.
Of couse if this clutch is loose, then it will show up all your mount imbalance, which is good thing, as you shouldn't run with the mount badly out of balance
