recently China has tested a 3.2m solid booster:

It won't go down.

US might contract SpaceX to do the Mars mission.

Thats not a possibility but a certainty.
One plan of SpaceX is to send components for a Mars base prior to Crewed launch.

They could task one of those launches to bring back samples.
"For the purpose of Studying the soil before sending humans"

Do you have any source to back the claim? By US I mean the state agency NASA. Also from the word "might" I think you know there is no such plan. I would not use the word "might" with "certainty" together anyway because they are logically contradictory.

And since we are talking about a 2026 mission, I wonder where is all the mission hardware for SpaceX to do it. Seriously I have never heard SpaceX has any plan to do it around 2026, will appreciate you to share the source of the information.

P.S. to clarify my post, I don't question whether there will be a crisis or not, I am wondering the response that you are saying.

Fair enough.

If this does go down in 2026 I wonder if it would cause a new Sputnik Crisis.

Who cares?! , China doesn't, I don't.
