I wonder if the European space agency in other countries will take up the slack. I also wonder if NASA employees will move to these countries.
Personally I am almost certain that we're going to see a reverse operation paperclip soon, but it'll probably be China running it rather than the EU.
I could be talked into Europe. Not so sure about Beijing. Folks that might be willing to go to china (at least in my neck of the woods) get weeded out pretty quick.
I'm not saying it'll definitely be a super effective operation, but I'm saying I think China will want to poach as much of our scientists as they can.
They probably won't even do it to gain more brainpower, but to dilute ours.
