China recently revealed the latest news: it will achieve a manned landing on the Moon by 2030. This is the first time that China has made its detailed plan public. At this time, the space race between the United States and China has reached its peak. Whoever scores the first goal will win face and glory.
The last time humans landed on the Moon was in 1972. More than half a century later, the United States and China have once again listed the Moon as an important target for space exploration. If China can complete the plan on time, it will become the first country in more than half a century to achieve a manned landing on the Moon.
In the 1960s, the United States and the Soviet Union began the Cold War space race. In 1969, the United States’ Apollo 11 completed the first manned landing on the Moon. After the Apollo 17 mission ended in 1972, mankind suspended human lunar landings for more than half a century.
Today, the heroes of the space race have turned to the United States and China. through the united statesNASA To promote the Artemis project, China is integrating the Chang’e lunar exploration project and manned space flight technology, setting goals of lunar landing by 2028 and 2030, respectively.
There are three main reasons why both sides are competing for the Moon again:
1.Technical Strength: Manned moon landings test technologies such as rockets, spacecraft, and lunar landers.
2. Lunar Resources: Antarctica may contain water ice, which could provide drinking water, oxygen, and rocket fuel raw materials in the future.
3. Space Strategy: The lunar base can be used as a long-term exploration base to accumulate experience for future Mars missions.
